This January will definitely see
some progress on my KK Off-Road bumpers. Thank you all for the interest.
5 weeks since I first "declassified" my KK Off-Road Bumpers and
Rock Sliders and this thread has been viewed over 2,100 times.
Below is a photo from last week showing my street rod fabrication shop (which is fabricating my prototypes for me) had 2.5 full front bumpers (the third one was on my KK for fit-up and we were missing a couple pre-made parts), 3 light pod covers and 2 radiator and power steering cooler skid plate assemblies all tacked up awaiting my approval to commence full weld-out of all the seams.
It has been a pain getting the mounting for the KK's forward facing turn signal properly positioned as we had to redo it multiple times before I was satisfied. Below is a photo showing how it wound up looking. I think it looks well positioned and the plateau it sits on maintains a consistent gap to the edge of the KK's grille side that is at an angle.
The front winch-bumper in the above photo has been fit and tacked together from 100% pre-made parts (cut out on computer controlled equipment off my CAD drawings, then bent to shape when applicable).
In the above photo, you can also see one of the grille guard mounting brackets sitting above its mounting holes. For those that want to customize their KK equipped with my off-road front winch bumper even further, as I stated in my
original front bumper posting, there will be multiple options for bolt-on grille guard hoops. This bracket gets sandwinched between the 1/4" formed winch mounting plate and the bolt-on 10,000 lb capacity recovery hooks.
I have 2 different raw formed "hoops" (from round tubing) on order and should be able to pick them up this week. I'm planning to bring my KK home next weekend (of 01/15-16) so I can fine-tune what I want for the basic rectangular grille guard hoop which will lead right into the wider brush guard style option. I need to spend
some time looking at best options for tabs on the grille guard hoops for light mounting, etc. I'm also wanting to incorporate means to facilitate securing wiring looms going up the grille guard hoops to additional lights since I know a lot of people seem to like to mount lights up in front of the grille. That weekend I'll also then be determining the formed tubing for the forward leaning stinger option. All 3 of these options will bolt in these same 3 mounting holes on each side of the winch (thus 6 bolts total).
That's my update. Now, for
some of
my questions..............
