New 2010 Renegade owner here. Just picked it up yesterday at a Nissan dealer :) The couple traded in their 35k mile, one owner Jeep for a Pathfinder.

I found this South African bumper on the web: http://www.maniacmanufacturing.com/products.php

Sorry if this is the wrong section to post this. I searched and it doesn't look like it's ever been discussed. It seems pretty rare to find actual pics of fabricated KK bumpers.

Can't wait to keeping digging up info about the KK...

That's an interesting find and nice front bumper for the KK, but on the page I can't find the one for the KK, just the KJ. :? .... unless they're the same exact bumper.

There is a pic in the "vehicles" tab of a red "cherokee kk". Looks pretty wicked.

Could you grab me one next time your in South Africa? ...shipping on that, could you imagine?

Nice looking bumper!

WhiteRider is right, shipping would be a killer :shock: .... Unless you could get 20 to 50 people to pay upfront and split shipping. But that is a whole separate nightmare

It looks like they've figured out how to make sliders that replace the plastic rocker panel. Looks clean.

I feel like I have a forgotten jeep. I like what they've done with that KK, I wish they were closer. Those rock sliders are exactly what I was looking for, provided they actually work.

I like a rock rail that sticks out more, those wouldn't give you any real protection from trees/ rocks etc from the side, only underneath

Does anyone know about the thing on the fender that looks like a light or a reflector? Does it light up?

Uneek4x4 who are an Australian manufacturer are putting a steel front winch bar into production. They just finished the test model and should finish the first production run in a few weeks time. I'm getting one :) Doesn't really help you guys in the states since shipping would kill but at least it's good to see someone else supporting the KK with goodies.

That looks good. I like the grille guard, too.

The shipping for that is fixed at 95 dollars. Just throwing that out there.

Since this company is based in Australia, and has a ".com.au" web address, I think it is safe to assume that it is in AUD, not USD.
1850AUD = 1940USD

And again, since it is an Australian based company, I'm assuming that $95 is in AUD and that they mean shipping within Australia.


Either way, it is a nice bumper.

Totally agree it's a nice bumper and you may be right on the AUD.

however when you add it to cart you can calculate your shipping cost and it is specific down to state what your shipping would be and it still shows 95
