i saw some 1/4 panel side protection on an xj forum. they went from the back of the back door,to the tail light. from the bottom of the back,side window,down to the lower part of the 1/4 panel.they were alluminum diamond plate,powder coated black!I'd also like to see some steal box, tail lights. also avail. for the xj. they get rid of the plastic tail lights. a steal box replaces them and they put round LED lights in them. no more broken plastic tail lights from rubbing or backing into a tree with them! since our xk's look like grown up xj's. anything that looks cool on a xj will look sweet on our xk's!

Another idea i had would be pretty cool if you wheel tight trails with trees. I have already put the roof of the XK up against a tree and had to get a couple guys to push the top to get me by it. I have seen a tube type slider to go over the rear doors and back end. Let me find pics of this.

I like the last one best, but I think there would be a market for these on our Jeeps. If you make them I would but them for sure

You guys are being a little harsh to GetLost4x4 I think.
I have his prototype of a front receiver hitch. I think the bumper and my front receiver mount in the same fashion. I would not take a running yank using it, which is what I think happened with CrunchyWizards. It mounts to the side rails as well as through the cross bar. But it attaches to unibody sheet steel, and you're right, it is only as strong as the sheet steel and welds it attaches to.
It works great as a winch mount and tow connection but you have to use it right. You can break anything by abusing it.
That said, I applaud SteelArmadillo for looking for ways to add strength.
GetLost4x4 did show his stress in negative ways a few times. He was trying to make his company work and didn't get enough buyers to make it a go to support his family. He had 2 userids over time because he had a private one and then later started the business and used his business id. He was banned because of disagreements with the administration, not because he treated other forum members poorly. They wanted more money than he could afford to be a sponsor and I think he tried to continue doing business after he did not renew his sponsorship.
GetLost4x4 had a good reputation with many people on the other forum and was encouraged by many to continue to build things for the XK, when no one else was making the products he was making. If I recall correctly, the only forum member he had a heated argument with was ElCid. And I think he didn't represent himself well in his debate with ElCid.
I personally was sad to see his business not succeed and him leave that forum. But he went back to college to complete his degree.
You're right, you should not bash competitor's products, but I don't think we should bash him personally either. Nor should you take pleasure in his demise.
