I know there are lots of bad things said about KMA on the net, but my experience with them went fine.

my 2 cents ..
I exchanged numerous mails w/ Kyle of Kennesaw Mountain Accessories (KMA), about a rear bumper for my dodge. He responded quickly & knowledgeably. I knew about the bad publicity on the net but that's not what kept me from going with him. There just wasn't an elegant solution to keep my factory hitch receiver (not an uncommon problem w/ the 3rd gen Dodges). If I were local to KMA, I wouldn't have a problem working with them.

The Shrockworks bumper is a very nice piece of metal, from first hand experience. I wouldnt hesitate to pay the price for one, if I were ever in the market for a front bumper again.

If you have someone local that does custom fabrication, get together a few ideas and talk to them. Not only does it support the local, small economy, but you can custom build something that matches your needs 100%. I would guess that most places can build a bumper for the same price that you can buy one for, but it will be better tailored for your particular application.

I've only heard bad things about them when it comes to their Rover stuff. Only thing appealing is their prices. You get what you pay for i guess.

Ya, thats not going to happen. Being installed on the 19th.


Need to look and see how this rear bumper stacks up to the Irbiris one (Irbiris is double the price, I know that much already)

How much are the KMA front bumpers? I do like the looks of the Taco front. I couldn't find a price though.

Yep I emailed Steve direct about some TJM bumpers and they are long long gone, none in stock no way you will get one.

This is what I'm now looking at for the front: http://www.shrockworks.com/Toyota-4Runner-Winch-Bumper-Front-Bumper-Bull-Bar-Offroad-pr-16217.html

And for the rear: http://www.irbisoffroad.com/4R_rear_bumper_w-tire.asp

If you want to check out the Irbis, 111db here in town has one. We are grabbing some brews sometime this week I think if you want to see it.

The complaints I've seen about about KMA are mainly on shipped products especially the rear bumper. The rears have about a 50/50 good vs. bad mix on the reviews for the Grand Cherokee bumpers. If I lived close I'd buy one & have them install it without thinking about it. Otherwise, I'd go for someone who has a better track record on shipped products.

Thanks that would be awesome. Let me know, next week is tight for me with that Forest Service meeting and the slacker students I have to stay late for to make up end-of the-semester stuff, but depending on where you are and how late you are out I'm sure I could swing by.
