Here is the front:

I might have him add some more tube to this as well, maybe.

is it an illusion or the tubes in front are thinner than the rear. personally from what i see on the pic I would add a tube under the shackles to each end of the front cross member. tube bumpers really fit the kj well. I like it better than an arb but i dont think it would look good on a kk

They are different, not an illusion. The front is a Fabtech TJ bumper I modified to work on the KJ. I am thinking of adding some extended pieces to go under the turn signals and cover up more of the unibody. I agree 100% about the round bar going better with the KJ. The KJs are really round to me to begin with so it fits. The ARB is so blocky that it just doesn't do it for me, but a squared off look works well with a KK because of everything square on it.

That is one nasty looking bumper! Any plans on building an exocage to connect your front and rear bumpers! That would be sweet!

No plans for an exo, but steel fenders front and rear eventually.

IMO i think you should have him connect your front bumper to the fenders, it looks great now, but since you can see all the guts it almost looks unfinished.

No sure what Aussie KJ you mean, but maybe.


Here it is with the mounted jack and spare:

Now the corner plating, finish welding and paint are all that's left.

Looks sweet dude. This guy plan on making more if there's a demand? Looks like you won't be able to open your rear glass? And have to swing the tire/door opposite eachother when they need opened? Still looks sweet!

This guy does custom only, no mass production. If you want him to build you one, gotta come to NV.
