Huge KUDOS to our Down Under counter parts for finally giving the KK some love. Also a second Huge KUDOS Ausjeep for even listening to this crazy American :lol:

Now, may I present to you the first front bar (bumper) for the KK

Now this is a bolt over the old bumper set up, but it is a huge step

Have you ever had roo steaks? :lol:

I hear that they are pretty tasty :shock:

Leave it to the boys down under to come up with a good bumper first!

I like the KK one but not the KJ one.

I have - it was quite good, strong tasting, a bit chewy though. Prefer a big thick Angus steak with 3 or 4 king prawns!!!

Wonder how much that would cost to buy/ship?

Excellent find Digger!

Should we add this to our aftermarket parts/suppliers list?

Agreed it is a great step forward. If it was a replacement bumper and winch capable, I'd be seriously considering it now.

Digger, you can get this in a "black ripple" finish, so maybe you wouldn't have to have it Line-X'd to match. :wink:

Already done :wink:

As far as getting one for my self, no, it's not for me. I will be holding out a tab bit more as their is some talk of a second bumper coming very soon... unless I finish the one I started making :roll:

doo doo yea i wanna brick for the front of my kj too :lol:

make sure to update us if they come out with a beefier version

can always modify the mounts and truss it with rail road ties hehe

It looks like it had a Winch hole..

\but no cost.. I am sure it will be over $1K once shipped to your house.

JeepinJarhead03 · **Posted:** Mon Jul 06, 2009 5:34 pm

what's not over 1k these days :lol:

Mike08Liberty · **Posted:** Mon Jul 06, 2009 7:34 pm

BUT the $64,000 question is, how does it mount to the truck? It goes OVER your existing bumper. I wonder how secure it is and what it could handle ... Something tells me it might be more show then go.

wingnuts · **Posted:** Mon Jul 06, 2009 9:58 pm

I've been looking at it since digger posted this up and I've decided

I DON'T like it.

JEEPIN36COKK · **Posted:** Thu Jul 09, 2009 12:38 am

Looks like a good start for ARB to improve upon, aren't they in AUS??????? Theirs will cost 1K also, but will probably take a hit better than this one.

MtnLuvr · **Posted:** Thu Jul 09, 2009 11:54 am

Is does seem like the Aussie's are one of our best hopes....

JeepinJarhead03 · **Posted:** Thu Jul 09, 2009 5:30 pm

is it just me..

or did that front bumper squat that KK in the front like 2 inches :lol:

don't know about you guys.. but my KJ gets higher in the front when i turn the wheels, not lower

It looks very... Functional.

Not a fan at all, but its a step in the right direction.

It may work well in a head on collision with a MAC truck.

Lookie at what I found..
