Theres a rather portly gentleman that loves Special Brew and Pizzas thats a good welder,but it depends where you are in the country as to whether you can bribe him with beer tokens to help :lol:  :lol:

XJ door hinges are a known problem. You can buy a new hinge from Jeep, but you'll have to take off the front fender to replace it (properly).

Misconception. A fender is not a bumper. In America, a bumper is called a bumper. A fender is what we call a wing.  :wink:
