Ok I have a 2005, I hate my bumper.. I like the style of the older versions But it looks like I have to change the flares and grill.

Am I right by assuming they will fit otherwise. And the one with the "look like" bolts are for the renny version correct?

THANKS GUYS

BTW I plan on using that stock bumper with a custom winch mount.

This is mine....

I want this....

You will need a new hood,fenders,front fender flares,bumper,grill,turn signals,fog lamps(if you have them),and headlight support.Then you got to modify the pinch weld are since the '02-'04 uses a different pinch weld cosmetics as well.

I changed the photos.. That is my actual jeep from when I purchased it.
It looks a bit more compatible.

Yeah with the non-renny(RME) flat hood you only need new fenders,fender flares(front),bumper,grill,headlamp support,fog lamps,and turn signals.Basically everything listed as before minus the hood.

OK, so modify current or spring for the heavy ARB... darn it!

I figured i could just buy a full used front bumper with signals and fogs... then buy some new OEM flares and a grill.

I agree that the 02-04 Sport models look better than the 05-07 Sports.

I have to disagree. To me, the 02-04 bumper looks hokey (sp?) and the fog lights are too low.

To each his own. It would be pretty lame if all our KJs looked the same.

That is the whole idea,they work better when mounted very low.

The foglights are in a better position on the 2002-2004 but they look like cartoon squirrels with their face full of nuts.
Am I the only one that sees this?
