I have the steel prototype complete. I think you guys will like this thing. I can already tell you that there will be one minor change, the 3/4" thick shackle tabs will be moved further apart from each other about 3" so they can be welded directly to the mounts. I initially thought there would be clearance issues in doing this but there won't be. Here it is.

Plenty strong. I don't exactly recommend this as a jacking point for say changing a tire, but if you needed to jack from this point its an option.

Installation is easy. Just remove the plastic bumper, cut out the plastic slots, install recovery bar, reinstall bumper. The bumper slides right over it.

This is going to be perfect for those of you who want to keep your rig stock looking, and don't want to spend the money on a full steel bumper.
I'll be running this for a while and testing it. I have an idea of where, but I still need to decide where to put two more mounting points to assure it'll never come off when you don't want it to...

Oh and the license plate can stay mounted in its original location. There is a receiver license plate holder available from Curt mfg if you want something with a quick release.

I have decided to extend the intro price up to eight units, which will be my first batch. This will only apply to those on the list, which is now extended to eight. As of now there is one spot left. To make things easy, i am doing a flat rate shipping cost of $50 to the lower 48. This is about what actual shipping costs for it give or take a couple dollars.


1. chris - Bigblue1
2. ben - huntb-no receiver but with flag tab
3. Drake - Dexter612 (from JF)
4. Russ - Rangerr47 - no receiver
5. Louie - makeshift1801
6. Loren- arctic-libby- no receiver
7. Otlip- (from JF)
8.

That's a great idea! Hope you don't mind if I take some of these ideas and use them on my custom bumper I'm making for my 03

Should but on side note I think this would be a great addition for you muscle since you have the OEM Light bar.

I concur just wonder how this will mount....

Def the tow hook holes plus one more behind them in the stronger part of the 'frame' rails.

It should bolt up to your kj just don't know about the bumper opening. You'll probably have to trim your bumper.
