I too am interested but like everyone else I want to know more about it's bolt-on fitment and some pics of it. Is there a link to it somewhere? Not in this thread that I've found but then I think there's several threads about it. Right?
 
I read through all that bull****, a few weeks ago not to impressive. I'm willing to bet (and risk) that even with my Patriot lifted (no winch bumper) no one would ever notice the fact it was lifted, yes it would look a bit taller but its not like other jacked up trucks.

Oh well time will tell how this whole bumper thing turns out, in the other thread the AC components may be of issue, and i don't want to lose my AC:confused:
 
Judging from their website and that pic, that's gotta be one heavy stout bumper. Might be overkill? Can't wait to see what comes out of their R&D.
 
i have one or two questions. would i get a better ground clearance with the winch bumper or is it going to sit lower or higher then the stock bumper? isn't the bumper and grill one piece, so how is that going to work?
 
4x4?

Ok, here's the update I referred to last night.

I am dropping my Patriot off at Kennesaw mountain this weekend for them to have all next week to start their work on the winch bumper. It's taken a bit longer to arrange as my family and I have had various commitments that required the use of the patriot. It's a lot harder than it first appeared to schedule a week without a vehicle that was purchased for daily use. Nonetheless, I've done it and looking forward to the final product.

IS YOUR PATRIOT 4X4? I JUST SAW YOUR PICS AND I DIDN'T FOUND A 4X4 BADGE ON YOUR TRUNK?

Not sure to the first question. As for the second, they cut the grill to make it work http://www.kenmtnac.com/Patriot.html. You can see they ran into a problem due to the AC unit.

aha another good question. is the back bumper going to have a tow hitch receiver?
As for options, a hitch receiver is an option. All options can be found here http://www.jeeppatriot.com/forum/showthread.php?t=23096 in post #7.

Might I also suggest to anyone interested in the Kennesaw bumper that all future correspondence be directed to the thread above, rather than continuing this one. Mods, since we have almost 2 parallel threads is it possible to eliminate/merge this one?
 
why is it taking so long to build the winch bumper. is there going to be other options ex; prerunner bumper
As they say "you can't rush greatness." I'd rather have a quality product that will last a long time but takes time to develop rather than a subpar one rushed into production which doesn't fit properly and is of poor craftsmanship. Only time will tell what options are available, but as of now I'd say they're designing it based on the style used on the Liberty.
 
so what is the price? how much for shipping ? I would like a winch bumper one
