Thanks

some one bought one for an 02-04 and tried to make it work on a later KJ , with limited success, fit and finish has seemed good but they are not many around. I had heard they were not going to make anymore, never were easy to deal with. I tried for several months back in late 04 early 05 to buy one and never really got a good answer back.

Darby had them on his previous KJ, then someone on here bought one and it didnt fit right so they had to make it fit, and they are really expensive, IMHO your better off with ARB

That was me :) the story was that Jeep sent them an 05 so they could make one for that model year. turns out they were sent an 04 and did realize the difference. When i spoke to the owner he said they weren't big sellers any ways and he is not gonna advertise them for the 05+ models but still carries them for the 04 down. now again that was over a year ago.

I spoke to them about 3 months past. I think January, they had from 04 down, mine is a 02, but the price, forget it. 1350 shipped. Its a good looking bumper, but when the time comes, I will choose ARB.

At the time before I realized the problems, I wanted that bumper so bad I paid the outrageous price for it...

They were pretty hard to deal with, I used them about 5 years ago for a front bumper for my TJ. ordered it and they said no problem, find out 3 months later when i am still waiting for it, they have never made the bumper i ordered for the TJ only a CJ. When it finally came, it was nice and has worked real well but just took a long time.
