tjm has decided to discontinue the type T17 replacement bumper but there is some good news, I have arranged special pricing for them if purchased through me as i am going direct to the factory

Type T17 Steel $912.00 + shipping ( originally $1325.00 + fitting) 5 left in stock
Type T17 Alloy $1025.00 + Shipping ( originally over $1600 bucks plus fitting) 15 left in stock

if anybody is thinking about a bull bar now is the time to get it

I would like an alloy one the only question is would it be legal on my
2003 model. I could make some rounded indicator bracket's to sit above
the bar in the orginal location if it fits mine

I'd say it would be OK if you had the indicators visable and working, I've seen lot's of fab jobs around that have made there own indicator mounts. THe big question is can you mount the bar to the KJ in a safe way, if so I'd say should be fine. But that's just what I think.

I would say that because you would only have to alter the mounting brackets and not the vehicle or bar itself, it would be OK.

I don't know because the TJM guy didn't sound keen on previous inquiry, unless of course it doesn't
require modification to the mounting system. Packer's are out and major cutting and welding.
On a cool side I was thinking an indicator mount similar to the All J's bar would look good.
Surely there wouldn't be any major difference's in chassis between model's ?

I had a chat with TJM about that Alloy T17 a few months ago. If memory serves it has a steel chassis mount that attaches to the KJ and then the Alloy bar attaches to the mount (a big reason why there is so little difference in the weight of the Alloy and Steel bars). So it may need some research to find out if that steel sub-frame can be made to fit your year. I had thought they were 05 onwards.

i only thought the skin was for 05+ kj's the cradle SHOULD be the same

i know when i was used as the test bunny for the T16 nudge bar that was for 05+ on KJs as well but it fit an 04

we will find out on sunday if it is

at 900 odd bucks i grabbed one if it doesnt work there will be a NEW T17 on ebay

the unit comes with indicators you just need to make a blanking plate for the different shape bumper ends

we'll make em fit mate, is the steel one the same weight or nearly the same as the alloy one
if so I think I would go a steel one too. So be easy for me to make those indicator mounts out of
steel too. The catalogue for the nudge bar's are the same for both model's so we should be right
Have fun tomorrow I want to see plenty of picture's

hope to see those old indicators put to good use

and thanks for the stickers

BTW - found a set of CJ hard door plastic stick on bits in the shed today, the bits that go in that slightly indented bit got them from Wooders a while back and never put them on - any use to you Gerard? if not they go in the bin?

Fouros · **Posted:** Fri Jan 16, 2009 4:56 am

yes mate i can put them to good use

you havent got a front driveshaft lying around the shed have you

stevemcc · **Posted:** Fri Jan 16, 2009 5:23 am

sorry mate - had a stock rear but it went to the dump in the last clean out. I'm doing another clean up this weekend so I'll pm you with whats left anything you want is yours

well after a bit of research on LOST i have come across some photo's of the 2005 and later KJ's
with tube bar's show the front and where they mount and it look's the same as the early KJ's
so all should be good. Count me in to get a steel bar. Also do they just come in primer as I will
just colour code mine.
