I don't want anything over the top or overbearing, but the one Mopar makes for the KK is too small and not particularly useful. Does anyone know the particulars of the guard in the fist pic I posted? Guard I like. In this pic, the guard is more pronounced, but not so huge as to overpower the front end of the Jeep. It actually looks like a modified Mopar guard as the tubular bar is higher.  Smaller Mopar guard.

I'd be willing to bet thats the mopar guard with a taller hoop fitted. I ,too, like that look but I cant get over the $500+ price of the mopar unit that just sticks on the plastic bumper with 3M tape. |

Yup. The price is what keeps me from getting one. I can see it being about $200 or so, but $500 is way too much. I just don't care for what's out there outside of the Mopar product. I don't really want a full guard that includes the headlights. |

Yeah, I'm normally not one to put excessive how-ya-doins on my vehicles, but some things are just right for some subconcious reason. I like the look of the full brush guard but I cannot do without the front towhooks. |

I was curious about how those were mounted, disappointed to find out it's tape... |

It's a shame the Mopar guard is so expensive. I like the look (with a larger hoop though) as it's not overbearing, and actually accents the overall appearance of front of the KK. Most of the aftermarket ones are just TOO big for my liking. |
