Just about everyone has heard of Trailready and their front and rear bumpers. Do a search. You will find many articles covering the company and their bumpers. Good luck if you plan to find one....I mean buy one. Sell your house and first child also. |

Actually Darby had Trailready front & rear on his 1st KJ someone else had one - but he had a 05 and Trailready didn't really match - it was a long thread - I'll post it if I can find it. okay -- Darby's http://www.lostjeeps.com/forum/phpBB3/viewtopic.php?p=223605#223605 doc's http://www.lostjeeps.com/forum/phpBB3/viewtopic.php?p=267837#267837 |

thanks for the links, I see that gap, I just emailed them ,lets see if they get back to me . The website has been updated and it states they re started fabrication again. I love the ARB but I just cant deal with the oversize bull bar. I got a crazy guy in the neigborhood that just installed an ARB on a Stock KJ  the front end is dragging,, but anyway I looked at it close to see if the Bar can be cut down, lowered and re welded. I have a welder in the family I have to see what he has to say.
thanks again. |

I originally was going to go with TR's F/R bumbers.This was in '04 and at the time I was stationed at Ft Lewis WA(about 3 hours away from TR),I went to there place to look at there SFA KJ they where selling(only $26,000).I asked them about there bumbers for the KJ and they said they would not build me the bumbers,though I could buy there SFA KJ and swap those on.I said &^% you and bought a ARB. Oh and seeing how the TR bumbers mount I wouldn't recommend them to anyone,they mount just like the rockstar bumbers(not safe in my opinion). |

Darbys is the whole reason I am where I am today, one look at his and I was hooked at doing mine Then after maybe 20 emails/ phone calls etc to Trail ready and getting 20 different answers I gave up on them, was told in a month, maybe never, they had three in stock and ready to ship, OK whats the price, well we are not sure, went on for 6 months and I gave up! Do like their style of bumper esp, most did not like the rear tail light guards ( Darbys did not have them ) but I liked the looks of them, made it look meaner

Gentlemen, thanks for the input, it really is a good looking and functional front bumper, the rear if I was to change mine I would go with RL as a matter of fact when I replace the front the RL rear will be next. I would like to see RL come up with a winch ready front for the 02's. As I said earlier I emailed them Ill see what they have to say. Thanks again, appreciate your help. |
