Well after many weeks of my KJ going backwards & forwards to TJM's skunkworks I can finally say i'm happy with what the last edition of the 3 proptypes look like. Its different to what I originally said, as they changed they're minds every time they stuck a channel up to the front of it.
I had to drop my offroad set or wheels & tyres off today as they want to fit them up & make sure that the "nominal upgrade" of 254/75/16's tyres dont rub. So far so good. They had a winch & the biggest Lightforce lights on the market on the front of it today just to see what the final 'overall look' looks like. As far as I can describe, its almost a combination between the RockLizard & ARB bars, with a fair bit of TJM flare thrown in !! I'm happy with, it looks very purposeful, & i'd say less than 1/2 the weight even in steel than the ARB one would be. Being that as it may, i've decided to go with the full steel bar from a safety point of view, not to mention it would look much better than a polished alloy one.
Now for the best part ! Paul (guy in charge of R&D) is going to do me a bit of a custom special once they've finalised the bar. He's going to bring back the amount that the bar sticks out by about50-75mm for a better approach angle. This is achieveable as I wont be running a winch, so they can chop out a bit of the structure to bring the bar back closer to the front grill !! Woohoo!!
As soon as I get permission, i'll post a couple of teaser pics.
KJ TJM Front bar update :) !!
