The new Jeep Wrangler JK has taken the aftermarket industry and off-road world by storm. Our project JK has already received numerous aftermarket goodies as well as suffered the abuse of extensive trail time. The vehicle, although new to many of us, is quickly proving to be yet another masterpiece of the Jeep brand.
Two of the most important items you can add to your JK are a strong front and rear bumper. Besides the extra protection they offer against bashing into rocks, trenching through mud, and traversing water crossings, both act as platforms to carry and support many other trail necessities such as a winch, spare tire, jack, tools, and jerrycans. Check out the following available options for the new Jeep Wrangler JK.
Kilby Enterprises
Kilby Enterprises' Trail Boss front bumper for the '07 Jeep JK has been engineered for optimum strength and function. With its integrated winch mount, this bumper accepts many popular winches and mounts them as low as possible to maintain unrestricted airflow to the radiator. The bumper includes an internal roller fairlead and also accepts a hawse fairlead. There are two skidplates available. Trail Boss JK bumpers use 3/16-inch HRPO steel for superior strength and finish and are built in the USA.
