I just ordered a wincher bumper from KNMT Acc., and recieved it, and am not happy at all. Been over on the blazer/jimmy forum, and just wondering if any one else has had a bad experience with Kennesaw Mtn stuff? Any feedback would be cool, thank's guy's!

I have heard that about most of there stuff. Every once in a while i hear a good review but most often it is people who are less then thrilled with he quality and fitment.

Personally I like DIY4x and ORD

Thank's 84. I am still trying to work out my problems with KNMTN. Anybody else got a horror story to tell? I can tell anybody that is considering buying from KENNESAW MOUNTAIN ACC., don't do it! I don't have a problem with the quality of the bumper, as it is as described, but the customer service sucks! I ordered it one way, and got it built another way. I talked to them on the phone to order it and was quite specific on how I wanted it to look. I recieved a bumper 12 weeks later, that was totally different. Anybody got any pic's of thier products?

Again, not real good with this pic thing!

swyfor5 · 07-17-2009, 04:44 PM

Anybody see the diff between the one on the white K5, like I ordered, and the one I got! Prerunner/grill guard is totally different.

Yep. They do look different.

You state that the majority of your discontent with Kennesaw Mountain was with their customer service and not the quality of the bumper. Is the quality of the craftsmanship acceptable? Are the welds ok? Is it square and does it attach to the bumper mounts without any mods? (If you have mounted it)

I was thinking of ordering the wincher for my project but have heard several horror stories about Kennesaw. I really can't find any other companies that build a winch bumper, or any other stout replacement bumpers for that matter. Any ideas?

A good friend of mine uses this company up in Dewey, AZ (granted for his old Bronco.)

From what I've heard, they're really good guys that are always looking for work. If you don't mind driving, I'm sure you could get up there, have them take some measurements, and see what they can do.

I wish I could tell you how awesome they are, but my $$'s are being run into other areas at this time.
