2011 WK2 Overland build - Bumper build mule

[mmrocek]

So I'm in the process of building up a 2011 Grand Cherokee Overland. I can go into detail about why but the basics are - comfort, hemi, quadralift/quadratrac II, comfort and hemi. hehe. Anyways, the problem I run into is aftermarket support. I went to Sema and spoke to a bunch of manufacturers whom all said "soon." Looks like all the good bumpers are in Australia where it's already a super popular overland vehicle. Well that is about to change because I was made an offer to have my vehicle used as a mule for creating a front and rear bumper by a very reputable company that specializes in jeep bumpers.

Here is my question: Has anyone ever had their vehicle used as a Mule before? I am writing up a contract and would like to know if anyone already has one they used. I trust the company and am not really worried, but better be safe than sorry. Any help/ideas are appreciated.

Here is a photo with my other jeep in the background:

Sounds like a "No".

Does this company have anything for a WK?

Good luck

So I ended up modifying a car rental contract...

No much, for WK, most stuff for the WJ and XJ.

Exciting! My wife's WK2 looks left out of the fun sitting beside my JKU. Keep us updated please!

Looking forward to this build. I love the WK2. Doesn't ARB make a front bumper?

I'm looking forward to seeing this develop, too.

ARB makes a good front bumper (albeit a bit bulky) but I'm really interested in a rear bumper with a swing-out tire carrier that retains the OEM trailer hitch (or replaces it with something equivalently strong, because I use it for a motorcycle carrier).
