I'm considering puchasing these two items... will they fit my YJ without too much fab?

Warn Bumper/Tire Rack for TJ asking $500

Poison Spyder TJ Rocker Knockers w/ step $245

Whatcha think?

Thanks in advance

I have no idea what your tool and technical training or abilities are. They may bolt right up OR you may need some tricky fabbin to do. I would get them and see or ask for a pic. It could be as simple as drilling a couple holes and sliding a bolt or two through em. There should be a weld shop in or near your town that can weld the suckers on for you cheap if needs be. I buy em on chance and pray .

Updat.... I picked up the items listed above for a bit under the asking price. The Warn Bumper/rack fit right up using the 8 mounting holes on the rear "crossmember." Which I reinforced with some fabbed brackets to the frame tube.

The sliders look like they will work well with the YJ front fender flares and TJ rear. In order to incorperate 2 YJ bodymounts I will have to fab up a new backet on the underside. I'll try to post some pictures when my new rear Xenon TJ 6" fender flares arrive this week.

TJ and YJ's rear bumpers are completely interchangable. I had a TJ bumper on my yj for years (till the jeep got totalled)

I know it is not part of the question, but the fronts can be interchanged but you need to enlarge the top mounting holes. the TJ ones are about 1/2 closer than the YJ/CJ ones.

as for the sliders. I would just cut the body mount thing off. IMHO, not worth the effort to tieing into the frame. Just bolt it through the body and be done. Mine are like this and have been getting beat on very hard for near 9 years.
