    Sounds like there will be some good advancements, but I'll leave it to Jon to decide what he wants to share!

    On FB it looks like the rear diff skid plate should be going in to production. Also, hopefully now in September the rear diff cover for the 12 bolt may also become available. I hope that is still on track.

    Things have been moving along very well, wish I had time to do it full time but I have a retirement I have to build too.

    The rear differential skid is finished, I tried to install it on my sisters WK but she has a balance so it would not fit, I need a ten bolt in the Phoenix area to test it on. The price point should be around $250.00 but I hope to do a group buy and get that down for the first order (just need to know if the ten bolt will work).

    The front and rear bumpers are coming along but not as fast as I wanted. I borrowed my sisters WK for a few months and it is scheduled to be returned at the end of September so I hope to have BOTH WK bumpers by that time.

    The 12 bolt differential cover should be done the first week of September, I will call on it tomorrow to see about pricing and release date.

    We worked out a deal with a distributor and they are signing up vendors so that should help with sales (sales drive more business), I encourage everyone to buy directly when possible so that the most money returns directly to the business, but feel free to support any of our vendors too.

    I have not been around TUJ for a long time now, but I just found this thread. So you are making a bumper for the front AND back for the WK? The rear with tire carrier I guess? Thanks.

    That is my plan. I put a lot of my money into R & D and then no sales, so I hope this project is worth it.
