does it have to be 36"??  I think I have a piece leftover that's either 28 or 30, but it's 8" so you have to rip it.

That will work just fine, thanks.  I'll pick it up from you when we do your move.

I want some steel. I'm looking for some 1/4" plate for a winch plate for my bumper right now. I want to modify the bumper in the basement and put a winch plate on it before I have it sandblasted and powder coated. I'll be out there to help you move too. Justin, if we can rip that down to the size you need it should still be side enough for me to build a winch plate out of.

Talk to Hotrod.  He gave me a winch plate a while back and gave it back to him yesterday.  I think it's for a CJ, but it's 1/4" and I'm sure you could modify it to work on the xj.  If that doesn't work, then maybe what Paul has will.

Paul, are you going to be at the cruise night tonight?  If so, would you mind bringing the steal?  How much do you want for it?
