Wow knock a product before it is even seen by the masses, come on now Atthehelm.
They want the fit and finish to be up to the highest standards, no frustrating install at all, simply remove stock bumper and install the mounting bracket, (almost the same as you do for an ARB bumper). Then bolt on the aftermarket TJ bumper you like or the JK depending on which you like .
Turn signals will be up to the individual of course but there are so many options out there if you look at what the TJ and JK owners are doing. Really the lights will be no harder than what installing the mounting bracket and bumper will be, maybe less. I've ran 3 different LED setups on mine so far with no issues of strange blinks or anything issues.
Nice way to edit my post! I was never 'knocking' anybody, in fact I said quite the opposite as seen below. Putting in some aftermarket LEDs with resistors on the bumper isn't a problem but you'll be left with a big hole where the factory sigs were. I'm just trying to point these things out to help people make a wise choice.

Not a bad idea. For those determined to modify a JK bumper to fit a KK/KJ, you need to use something like this. DO NOT just bolt on to the kk/kj's crossmember with the jk factory mounting points unless you never plan on using it for recovery.

Don't get me wrong, I do think said fabricator/supplier is on to something and I'm sure a jk bumper mounted to a kk/ kj will serve its purpose. It would be nice for the masses to have more than two options for bumpers but final looks
