Well - the KJ is back home tonight. :mrgreen:

I finally got to see the new Backbone & winch in person... Nice job Dr. Detour - the face-lift was a success

Like many before, I'm drooooooooling....

WTH was that thing a couple years ago?!

Sheesh!
Pair that w/ a trimmed up front plastic bumper to improve the approach and you are good to go! Nice!

I asked before, but anyone have pics of how it mounts/what it mounts to?
If I didn't already have front bumpers, I would be ordering one right now.

Well there's some good news!

Thankyou much, and I follow you 100%......no changes required other than bumper skin trimming template.
I'm still seaking out & referancing some part numbers from Mopar, but this news helps..
I may give you a buzz just to talk shop if I get a minute, thanks again.. :wink:

Does the bolded part of the quote mean that there should be no significant difference between the ones for the 02-04 and the ones from 05-07? Or will there be just one part for all models?? Thanks for the input!!!

I just ordered some synthetic winch line. 100ft of 5/15" winch rope weighs only 3.5 lbs! That should save me over 30lbs up front. I'll post pic's when we get it installed

Simply awesome!
I'll be looking to get one of these..... one day. Until then I will have to live with tow hooks.

Took the KJ on a trail cut last weekend - got t o test out the new winch. Lots of long side pulls - Backbone held up great. The system worked perfectly. Here's a few pics:

Ya, but that would be an easy one to pop out, just take the panel out, and pop it, that side is easy, the other side would be a pain.

Call me curious but, what makes that side easier? gas tank?

Behind the inside panel is a big open space ment for the OEM 6 disc changer which makes that side easier,and the the other side does have the gas filler opening.

Today I used a sink plunger and popped the dent out. Worked great! Almost like it never happened :wink:

Here's a link to some alternative dent removable techniques
