Jeep Cherokee XJ MJ Front Bumper Unibody Stiffener - Weld-On Cross Support Plate

Jeep Cherokee XJ (1984-2001) and Comanche MJ (1986-1992) models excel in modifications like lifts and large tires, but the factory plate behind the front bumper—linking the unibody rails—is typically too weak to endure, particularly with side-to-side flexing that stresses the vehicle laterally (unlike front-to-back movement). Our Front Bumper Unibody Stiffener is a targeted upgrade, welding in place to deliver solid cross support from the driver-side rail to the passenger side.

CNC-cut from 10-gauge cold rolled steel, this plate not only reinforces the existing factory connection but also strengthens the bumper bolt holes for dependable performance in demanding environments. It's especially useful in rust-heavy areas with salted roads, supporting effective fixes and long-term protection. Installation involves welding, with possible minor grinding for an optimal fit on select models.

Crafted by T-M Fab, your specialist in Jeep fabrication for enduring reliability.

• Enhances Cross Support: Welds behind the front bumper to add strong cross-bracing between the driver and passenger unibody rails, bolstering the weak factory plate for improved side-to-side flex resistance (vs. front-to-back twisting) from off-road use, lifts, or oversized tires.
• Heavy-Duty Build: CNC-cut from 10-gauge cold rolled steel for exceptional strength, rust resistance, and durability—thicker than 1/8 inch and far superior to stock materials.
• Bolt Hole Reinforcement: Plates over and fortifies the factory bumper bolt holes, minimizing cracks, stripping, or failures due to impacts, towing, or daily stress.
• Rust Repair Ally: Ideal for salted-road conditions, facilitating repairs and prevention of rust while enhancing overall frame integrity and vehicle lifespan.
• T-M Fab Design: Tailored for Jeep Cherokee XJ (1984-2001) and Comanche MJ (1986-1992)—minor grinding may be required; check t-mfab.com for more XJ/MJ parts and upgrades.

Jeep Cherokee XJ Rear Bumper Unibody Stiffener - Weld-On Cross Support Plate

Jeep Cherokee XJ (1984-2001) enthusiasts push their rigs with lifts, big tires, and rugged trails, but the factory plate behind the rear bumper—connecting the unibody rails—is often too weak to handle the demands, especially side-to-side flexing that twists the vehicle laterally (as opposed to front-to-back articulation). Our Rear Bumper Unibody Stiffener steps in as a superior upgrade, welding in place to provide strong cross support from the driver-side rail to the passenger side.

CNC-cut from 10-gauge cold rolled steel, this plate not only bolsters the existing factory connection but also reinforces the bumper bolt holes for reliable performance in tough conditions. It's a smart choice for rust-prone areas where roads are salted, enabling effective patches and long-term protection. Installation requires welding, with potential minor grinding for a custom fit on some models.
