Great Bumper

Bumper is very well put together, the welds look great and all the hardware came with it. Thanks to the great customer service as well and will be buying more product in the future.

Easy Storage

Great little product. Makes great use of the dumb negative space that was useless before!

Perfection

I purchased front bumper reinforcements for my XJ, and you couldn't have made a better product. Perfection in the fitment and superseded my expectations. I just wish yawl would have sent STICKERS!!!!!!!!!!

Great on my TDI swapped XJ!

Ordered the bumper back on the 28th of November, and it showed up yesterday. I'm very happy with the purchase. I test mounted it, primed and then painted it. Installed it last night, with LED pods, and I'm super thrilled with it. They need to come back with a tire carrier for the rear, so I can complete the set!

Almost Perfect

This is a great quality product. Nice solid steel so much better than the factory plastic tray. The issue I ran into was the bolt holes did not line up at all. Also, my AC hardlines which run around the battery interfered with tray placement, so even if the bolt holes were correct it still would not have fit due to those lines. I ended up moving the entire tray about a half inch inboard and drilled new holes. Not a huge deal but someone with an older XJ like mine that has AC should be aware of this. I have an 88 XJ.

Nice, but modified to make fit

I've been on the fence between buying and building my own sliders for my 2000 XJ, so I was quite happy to find a DIY kit from DirtBound. I got them on the Black Friday sale and the kit arrived in late January, so about the expected production & shipping time. The box arrived damaged but the contents were very well packaged with pallet wrap, and everything was fine. I used my Titanium 125 flux-core welder from Harbor Freight and I'm far from a professional welder, so while the weld's aren't the prettiest I'm sure they'll hold just fine. The kit did not include detailed instructions as the product listing claims, so I tacked everything together using the diagram in the listing. I then tried a test-fit, and found that there were 1/4 to 3/8in gaps between the pinch-welds and the brackets. In addition, the rear frame mounts seemed to be angled the wrong way, as if they were on the wrong side (I installed the part labeled 2551 on driver's side and 2552 on passenger as indicated on the diagram). The sliders also stuck out a bit more than I wanted since I'm running TJ wheels with stock backspacing. So out came the grinder to cut the tacks for the mounts, then I cut 1/2in off the slider end of each of the mounting arms (this required shorter mounting bolts for the pinch-seam, so I used some .75in long grade-8 bolts instead of the 1.25in bolts that were included with the kit). This time, I assembled the mounts on the Jeep (including swapping the rear mounting arms to the opposite side), drilled all the holes, then started tacking everything together again. Once that was done I removed the sliders and finished welding everything up. There were some larger gaps to fill between the pinch seam mounts, but everything welded up fine. I spent quite a bit of time with a grinder and bandfile sander to clean up my welds, then painted the sliders with some self-etching primer and several coats of spray-on tuck-bed liner, which is what I used on my front and rear bumpers. Once that dried I re-installed the sliders. The bottom of the sliders hang down about 3/4in below the pinch seam, and while the Jeep looks a bit lower I didn't really lose any breakover clearance, since the transmission crossmember and unibody still hang down further. I really like how the step bars angle upwards. I would have preferred a better fit and instructions, but I was able to make it work. Overall I think they look great, they are very solid, and I'm sure they will provide some good protection while I'm out wheeling.

Love these rock rings!

I love these. In hind sight, I wish that they were set up so that they could later be turned into beadlocks, but they are fantastic as rock rings! I bought and installed 5, so my spare would match. Will try to upload picture, but not seeing an option. They look great, though! I love them!

Works as advertised

Good secure fit.

pickup bed brackets

Brackets worked out perfect for the application I had intended made my own crosser bars out of angel iron bolt up nice happy with brackets👍

Great product and look

MJ Frame Stiffeners

Ordered frame stiffener kit for comanche long bed. Totally worth the wait, this kit is insanely nice and being that these guys are some of the few people still making stuff for these I'd order it again. Quality parts cannot wait to get it on the truck

would recomend

Easy to assembly arrived already bent to the correct angles and easy to weld.

High quality and easy assembly

I purchased this diy bumper on their Black Friday sale. Even at the regular price it’s well worth it. Item was shipped within their estimated lead times. There were a few missing parts but they rectified it over the weekend and I had all the parts needed to complete it. This bumper is by far one of the easiest DIY bumpers I have ever assembled. Instructions were found online and it was easy enough to assemble based on the photos provided. Everything fit together perfectly. Tacked it in place to verify fit and it needed zero tweaks. Fit my Warn 10K winch no issue and it looks great. The only minor (very minor) design criticism I have with it is the recovery eyes and the space underneath the winch. The recovery eyes fit like a glove, but weld only to the front plate and not directly to the bumper mounting bracket or winch plate. While I’m sure it ties in without issue to the main side plate, it would be nice to be able to connect it directly to the winch plate and/or side plate. Only other thing would be the gap between the winch plate and the lower plate. It’s just an open area behind the bumper and I’d be worried about it deflecting if I was to place a hi-lift or similar jack on it. But for the price, this can t be beat and it’s no issue to gusset that on my own. Would 10/10 recommend dirt bound diy bumpers.
