I don't have a pic with anything installed (mine doesn't have them but will soon), but you will need the brackets, either factory or aftermarket such as these rugged ridge brackets from quadratec

I have OEM ones that came on some XJs, you can score them from a junkyard or eBay. They came complete with scratches and mud included.
