Hi everyone!
We're in the process of finalizing our MK2 JL Slimline Tire Carrier Rear Bumper feature list! What would everyone like to see as an available addon to our MK2 JL Slimline Tire Carrier Rear Bumper? We'd love to hear from you, but there is no guarantee that a feature will be doable or will be delivered.
The rear bumper and swingarm of the MK2 ROAM JL Slimline Tire Carrier Rear Bumper looks similar/identical to the MK1 ROAM JL Slimline Tire Carrier Rear Bumper:
Pictured below is the proposed MK2 ROAM JL Slimline Tire Carrier Rear Bumper with all of the currently planned addons (in addition to the standard features in our MK1 JL Slimline Tire Carrier Rear Bumper).
The MK2 ROAM JL Slimline Rear Bumper will build upon the MK1 and differs primarily by including three accessory mount subsystems: the ladder/2nd swingarm, the air diverter/spoiler system, and the modular lattice system. Each of the accessory mount systems can be installed separately or altogether as a system. All accessories or addons weighing 100 lbs or more will mount to the ladder/2nd swingarm system, anything with a large cross section will be mounted to our air diverter and everything else will be mounted to the modular lattice subsystem (all accessory addons will open with the main swingarm, and will be able to be operated with one hand similar to the production spec MK1 ROAM JL Slimline Tire Carrier Rear Bumper):
01. 1UP or Kuat bike carrier addon mounted on a second swingarm (moves in sync with the primary tire carrier swingarm) (1UP bike carrier pictured).
02. High mounted air diverter/spoiler (in testing now, designed to divert airflow to reduce whistling and other NVH when the bike carrier and cargo baskets are loaded).
03. JL rear bumper mounted (JL frame mounted) ladder, supports >600 lbs.
04. External fuel canister mounts. Rotopax or Jerrycan or West Marine/Scepter Marine.
05. High mounted cargo basket/carrier.
06. MaxTrax MKII or ARB Tred Pro mounts.
07. High mounted camera relocation mount (meant for when you've got a bike or few mounted on the attached bike rack).
08. High mounted center brake light relocation mount (meant for when you've got a bike or few mounted on the attached bike rack).
09. Stealth CB Antenna Mount - built into the airfoil/spoiler system.
Not pictured but planned:
10. 360 Camera periscope (extendible).
11. Cargo basket light bar mount.
12. Compressor system mount with external air tank (in testing now, will be waterproof and will resist rain and snow).
13. Common rail 12V port (20A) with lock.
14. Keyed 12V supply (100A, winch capable).
15. Winch mount (rear facing).
16. High lift jack mount.
17. Captured GoPro/3rd party camera mounting system (theft resistant GoPro/external camera mounts)
18. Snowboard/Ski Rack mount.
Accepted ideas or proposals so far:
19. Integrated bottle opener. (Special thanks to OGJeep on this idea - though this will probably be named something else)
20. Trail shower water solution. (Special thanks to N***L***** on this idea)
21. Awning solution. (Special thanks goes to C***** for an accepted proposal)
22. Folding table solution. (Special thanks to C***** for an accepted proposal)
23. Random Hooks everywhere. (Special thanks to P***** for an accepted napkin drawing)
We invite everyone to participate:
The first person to come up with an original idea and a reasonable enough proposal (accepted by our engineering team) of how to integrate an addon or feature to the MK2 rear bumper (when accepted) will receive 20 percent off of the purchase cost of an MK2 JL Slimline rear bumper or another ROAM front or rear bumper (pending availability). This applies to any accepted proposals for accessory mount ideas. Requests to change the bumper skin itself do not count - this thread is meant for bumper addons only.
Please note that the feature addons can be sheetmetal, CNC'd or plastic injection molded; changes to the material of the bumper itself also do not count towards the original ideas qualification. To clarify, we already have stainless steel, aluminum, chromoly, and titanium (not available in certain bumper series) as available options for our front and rear bumpers, and saying you want a titanium bumper will not count as an original idea.
Thanks!
