Front bumper interest

Rock Lizard · **Posted:** Mon Dec 21, 2009 6:20 pm

So, I finally got the Rock Monitor Front bumper designed up for the KJ, and during my design found out that it is fairly universal and will work on the KK as well. The bumper itself is the same for all Liberties 02 - Present, but what goes on top of it is the only thing that has to change, and for the 02-04 and 05-07 Liberties it is just a matter of simply bolting on the correct accessories to the top of the bumper. The KK Rock Monitor will have parts that will be on the top of the bumper to fill in the gap between the top of the bumper and the bottom of the grill, and of course provisions for the turn signals. Just wanted to give you guys a quick tease of what the Phase IV convertible winch bumper looks like on the KJ to get an idea what it will be like on the KK.
I am shooting for a February production time frame.

and prototype on the KK

If you could build a ARB type bull bar like it is on the on the cherokee, I would be very interested. I used to love the ARB on my 88XJ, How i wish i still had the XJ

Very cool, Rock Lizard. I would like to see a tubular grill guard added above the winch mount. I will be adding one of those badboys to my KK wish list.

Could you adapt it for the Nitro? :mrgreen:

As it is, it looks like the KJ one might bolt right on there, if you leave the turn signal brackets off!?

I think the straighter and sharper lines of this bumper will look better on the KK. The KJ has too many curves and round edges for all the straight edges of the bumper. Maybe if the edges were slightly softened like the SC Rockstar. Still, good to see it finally out.

Here is a Photo Mock up I did for the KA using the KJ bumper. What do you think?

Original Pic.

I like your skills Mark!

Can you leave the upper bumper pieces in place?

LOL it is amazing what you can do with MS paint!

Not sure about the upper bumper pieces, I have not had mine off yet. Let me check the FSM...
Edit: Nope they are part of the fascia.

Come on! You haven't popped that front bumper off yet!

Mine comes off as fast as the clothes on a $7 dollar :shock:

Never mind :jester:

Nope. Had the Bra, uh, grill off several times. Never got to her pants, uh, bumper though.
I went out and checked. Nope for sure, it is part of the bumper fascia.

Too bad I'm not closer... I might have to break out the welder myself. Maybe?

Then I hit back, and hit preview and, then hit submit and it posted 2 times. Or you hit submit and it takes you back to the thread with no post. Exit the thread, open it back up, then it will submit a reply post just fine. Why don't the little Pics work in the quotes?
