Customer reviews

Well built brackets. Work out great. Was able to install tool box above tonneau cover close to back window and able open tonneau cover.

Excellent quality, great fit. Mine even survived a prior XJ burning to the ground! If your wondering how Dirtbounds stinger kit fits on this bumper, its tight but does fit and look great.

Best manufactured metal replacement part. It will last longer than my Cherokee.

Do the Right Thing Pt 2

Couldn't figure out how to add Pass Side Stiffener work to previous review so posted this additional review. The pic associated with this one shows Pass Side Stiffener welded with weld locations seam sealed prior to using Eastwoods xtreme Platinum product (4 hr flash time) But needed to wait 48 hours to fully cure before next step. After 48 hr cure, used Eastwoods xtreme Chassis Black, 2 coats (15min flash time). And Finally will rubberize.

The right thing to do

Any Salt Belt driven xj will benefit from rust mitigation. This frame stiffener is just what my auto body technician needed. The most common issue seen in the review pictures (seen here and elsewhere like naxja and jeepforum) is a rusted out Fuel Hose Frame Pass-Thru (if that's what they call it). Luckily, only the oval shield insert on the Fuel Hose Frame Pass-Thru needed to be re-fabricated. Frame steel good but stiffener's definitely needed. Opted against using Dirtbound's custom Leaf Spring plate that relocates axle snubber but had to deal with a broken snubber bolt (re-drilled and tapped) so had to enlarge stiffener relief hole for that snubber bolt. (will post pass side soon)

Heavy-Duty Armor

Ordered the Lower Quarter Panel Armor for my 2000 XJ, as there was terrible rust on them after taking the rear trim off. These are heavy-duty pieces! I knew what I was ordering, but didn't realize how heavy-duty pieces were actually going to be. Ready to go for any color you want to put on them, which makes customization a breeze. These are definitely going to be a great addition not just to patch holes, but for protection offroad too!

Great quality!

Thanks and quick service. Perfect fitment. Even had spot for battery temp sensor.

nice bumper!

actually i bought it for a 2000 suzuki vitara. made a couple mods to the brackets, drilled a few hole and its on there. fits as well as can be expected because its for a cherokee. im happy with the product i purchased, nicely cut pieces, and brackets. will buy again.

Very good box works great.

I've been buying from Max at Dirtbound for years and have had nothing but good customer service. Even during the pandemic.

Awesome bumper

Looks great on the Comanche! Fits perfect. Wish I had ordered the rear armor at the same time. Had a small issue with the brackets, but I emailed the staff and they fixed the issue right away. I am definitely gonna buy more stuff from Dirtbound. Happy to support anyone still making stuff for the Comanche!

Awesome bumper

I am very happy with my purchase from Dirtbound! Everything bolted right up and it looks great. Excellent quality.

Very solid

I replaced two of these in my XJ’s. Always fit perfectly and are very solid. I’ve done a 2DR 5-speed and 4DR automatic. I pulled the console out in the 2DR. (Very easy) but left the automatic console in place so I wouldn’t have to disconnect the gear shifter.

Stump front winch bumper

I love the welding on it and it. It’s my cheap perfectly!
