Prerunner XJ Bumper
A Bolt-On for Cherokees


By Verne Simons
photographer: Verne Simons






For years now, Cherokees have been hitting some serious off-road trails, many without one of the most fundamental recovery tools: a winch. Why? Because few mounting options existed. There were a few integrated winch bumpers, or you could foot the bill for two receivers, some extra wiring, and a sore back. Or you could have an expensive custom winch bumper built to your liking. More recently, several companies have been producing bolt-on winch bumpers for this popular Jeep. We got a hold of a new prerunner style bumper from Truck Farm. The Proto Fab–built Pro Farm Bumper will bolt onto any Cherokee and holds a wide array of winches. We opted for a winch from the Ramsey Platinum series line to take care of pulling duties. The Platinum 9000 offers a 4.8hp heavy-duty electric motor and 150 feet of 5/16-inch galvanized aircraft cable.

That is certainly a nice looking Cherokee bumper, but it does not look like the pictures in the Verne Simons article.

Personally, as one just starting an XJ project, I like it better. The other one that really suites me is the Hanson Offroad front bumper.

I was reading about one of the protofab bumpers for the TJ. They say they send them out, as bare steel for the customer to paint. That's a different approach, and i'm sure a big cost savings. I haven't really done any price comparisons on bumpers. I like the Hanson brand bumpers myself, for the Cherokees anyhow. I haven't seen one for a TJ that I liked. Oh and by the way, did you scroll all the way down that page. They actually have 3 styles of pre runner bumpers for the XJ

No I did not, and this is the other one... Looks very close...

This is off the topic of the one for the cherokee, but what do you think of this one they have for TJ's

I like that. I like a lot of them. The biggest thing that helped me make my decision was weight vs strength.

The one I bought is stamped and then is re-inforced with 3/16" webbing. It weighs a lot less than the ones made by the fab shops.

 

That's a good point, weight can be a big factor
