Default I want that bumper

Ok I was looking around on this site when i found a link that lead me to someting on youtube showing the UK's version of the jk. Now the first thing that i noticed was the difference in the front bumper our version has more of a gap between the fender and the bumper. So my question is , where would I find someone besides chrysler that sells it aftermarket or where would i find the bumper period . http://www.jeep.co.uk/jeep/vehicle.aspx?ID=270,2

Just put "JK bumper" in your search engine and hold on.

Sorry to hijack your thread, but couldn't help noticing the "Economic Diesel Engine" plug on the UK site :sad:

That lizard skit is pretty neat too! Not sure I like the bumper so much..

the bumper sucks big time!! it extends out so far.. today I was parking and hit a pole you need to be constantly aware of just how far the bumper sticks out. Ill be replacing myne with a AEV or something similar asap if you want to pay shipping from Australia I could sell you myne (maybe I shouldnt be telling you I hit a pole)! If you see more pics of it you probally wouldnt want one.

I agree about the length but it would fold up a pedestrian nicely without them hitting my hood or grill.

I was wondering if anyone would catch that. I am actually not serious about pedestrians but in reality I wonder if it would help if you did hit something like a deer. I am moving about 20 miles further out into the country and the deer population while high here gets higher near the bean and corn fields.

that bumper is sweet. its so big and could fit a ton of lights + a winch would make way for a sweet setup!
