Anyone ever heard of Kennesaw Mountain Accessories? I am about to buy one of their bumpers, I think. If anyone has one, or has dealt with them please give me a shout. I would llike to know as much as possible about them and how they deal with customers. So far they have been great, but that is just on the phone and e-mail.

Thanks

Yes I have done a search, seems the good stories are a little out weighed by the bad stories, but nobody seems to have their product.

I didn't think it was possible to make a BIGGER front bumper for a Disco. I thought ARB bumpers looked BIG but good grief. I suppose it would be good for clearing the small import cars out of your way on your way into work:applause:

not heard great things.
Everyone eventually says they want a Rovertym, save the trouble and get one. Last bumper you will ever buy, certainly the strongest on the market from what I have observed.

:agree: This, I believe, is where I am heading. Was hoping to get the same for cheaper, but it does not look to be panning out that way.

I am actually going to buy a d2 bumper from them. Can't argue with the price, and hot damn i like the way it looks. I'm not going to be in the market for a winch for a long time seeing as how i am a student, but i need some increased clearance up front for my tires. Its got to be stronger than my A-bar and i can't shell out 500+ shipping for a rovertym and i can pick mine up on one of their "monkey days" where I can use some of their guys to help me install for FREE!

I live 2 min. from Kennesaw Mountain battlefield. Even went to the lame high school. It's hilarious to me that I've never heard of them. That can't be good.

Have a buddy who ordered the front and rear bumpers for a Toyota pickup(because the price was right) in early November, and he just got them delivered to him last week after many phone calls! When he attempted to install them most of the holes did not line up, so a little bit of extra work was involved in the installation process. He also commented on the poor quality of the paint(or lack thereof) on the bumpers. I guess it was chipping off and very thin. There might be a reason for the low price, get what you pay for, but that is just his experiance.

Maybe strongest for what they are, but I'll put my Rockware up to a RTE bumper thrash test any time.

They are not any less expensive.

I have seen a few of those, but never lookedat how they were put together. I think the ARBs are way too weak for the cost.

After a little research I have changed my mind, the bumpers do not include mounting hardware, a few people have complaints, and the order time seems to be rediculous (2-6weeks)
