i will add two more mid span and 1/8"-1/16" plate inbetween to cover the uni-body, as well as extend the ends out to the end of the fender flairs.

Sounds promising, looking forward to the next pics.

When ever you are ready. I will get over there this weekend. Is the bumper already fabbed? So it will just need yo be fit right. PM or give me a call w/ directions to your house.

I dont think they get what you mean by "Hi-lift"

This means if one of you wants a stinger top tube, you get a stinger top tube.

How about a bolt-on (or off) stinger tube?

That's a really nice looking bumper orm! I like those light mounts too. Might have to put this in the budget. I look forward to the extended tubes, backplate, and skid. My CRD needs this (and the A pillar light mounts).

Thanks for putting so much effort into the KJ community!

Just keeping this alive, any new progress?

ORM, Hope you are still working on that bumper!

would you also consider fabbing up a type of light bar like the one WESTIN makes, they call it SAFARI LIGHT bar. I emailed them today and there are no plans to make one for the Lib. it would also be great to be able to somehow use the stock tow hooks, I don't know maybe longer bolts.

If you are not interested would you be willing to make me a custom one?

sport,

pm me with specs and a photo or two and we'll take it from there.

any updates on the finished product?

I like this bumper! This is THE bumper for my libby.

And, most importantly, da wife likes it. So please don't keep us waiting for too long, my yearly bonus won't last long.

I'm wondering how far orm is on this thing. I saved up some money to buy a bumper but I dont know how much longer I can wait

This bumper is very nice, it has good potential. A couple skids and a little more material to make it not look so skinny and that thing is the bomb!
Cant wait, let us know if you're still planning on "mass producing" this.

Also PM me if you need parts measured for any reason, I got one of these handy =>

Man at this rate I should break out my bender and get busy stealing some business! :wink:

J/K man! Need me to bend some tube for ya?

Ok guys.

looks like the first model will be for '05 - '06 KJ's ONLY. I am still working out the bugs for the earlier models (darn turn signals). I will have photos of the final production bumper up very soon as well as pricing. Again there are options on these and they can be "tweaked" to the individuals liking, within reason.

Options will be:

1. powder coat / raw
2. skidplate
3. 2" reciever
4. "D" shackle mounts
5. light / antana mounting tabs
6. top tube radius (pre-runner, like the prototype. stinger, for that "rock-crawler" look. or
none, for the stream-lined / minimalist look (price discount)

As soon as I have everything finalized I will be taking pre-orders on these. Quantaties are NOT limited and will ship in a first-come first-serve basis.

A big Thanks for all of your intrest.

Well, as an '02 owner, I'm disappointed but I understand. I've been struggling with the choice between RL's bumper and this one, but I may not be ready to buy until next Spring, anyway.

I'm hoping that you'll be able to come up with something by the time RL closes the pre-order pricing on his front bumper, but if not it's not a huge deal.

zeero · **Posted:** Wed Oct 18, 2006 10:42 am

thanks for the update and the list of options......fog light / turn signal mounts....and "D" ring deals for me with small stinger.....hahaha....don't expect you to remember that so when pre-order opens....I'll let you know.....
