Marty hasn't been able to build the fronts for the 05+ yet, partly because he's been working his tail off, and also cause he was in need of a test vehicle. Hopefully he'll be able to start soon. I have graciously donated my KJ to him for all his test fit needs on the 05+ models.

Show some patience, please. He is very busy and usually gets on in the late evening.

USAFCOP has one because he has the prototype. Please look in the Moab section for information and pictures of the prototype bumper.

Sorry I never got to answer your email. I'll try to find it. I get so many, and they are all so similar, that I can't get to all of them, but I try. I just try to spend more time designing and building, cause I could talk on the phone or email all day long about jeeps and never get anything done. Ted (USAFCOP) is my prototype guinea pig, which is why he is already suited up, but he is sporting the 02-04 bumpers. As fish_eye said, I have been working my butt off, especially since I took on a Liberty line, and being an army of one, I'm working on something from 8:00 in the morning until usually 1:00 in the morning.

I don't have any set prices yet on any of the front bumpers, as I am still waiting on first prototypes from my manufacturer and price quotes, but due to the build of the front compared to the rear, figure about the same price or less than the rear bumper. I should have a better idea on price hopefully by the end of next week. I am shooting to start production ASAP after getting a satisfactory prototype, and production time is about 6-8 weeks after that. I would like to say August sometime for the front bumper delivery, but I'm not going to rush these and sacrifice quality or safety. Fish_eye lives right down the road, and after that nightmare of a front bumper with the 02-04 model, the 05 should be much easier. I will keep you guys updated as things progress, because I know everyone is chomping at the bit. Depending on fish_eye's schedule next week, I am really going to try and know out a posterboard mockup like I did with all the other bumpers.

I am schedule to open shop next week, getting me off work around 1-2, probably closer to 2. If you want to get a jump on things, I can bring my jeep by and drop it off. I'll just ride my bike to work, that way you can work on it as your time permits. If you need an extra set of hands, I could come up after work. I'm sure I'll talk to you before then, so this is mostly just food for thought....

Will your bumper be airbag compatable? Thanks for all you do RL.

Airbag sensors are not in the bumpers. I'm not entirely sure where they are in the KJ, but usually they are a decelaration sensor in the steering column, I believe. I'm sure someone that know better than I will clear that up, or you could search for Airbag. I beleive I read a post on here somewhere before.

They are beside the radiator, theres two. Ohh, they are decelaration sensors.

I believe there is another one somewhere in the cabin near the center console, but I may be wrong. Last time this came up, IIRC there are a total of 3 sensors.

I do not think any Airbag would be bumper compatible... I think if the bumper is near the airbag you have more pressing issues to worry about
