Been there....
done that.....

These damn winch bumpers are dangerous.

I was helping Bev out one night when he'd broke down at the Ambergate GLASS camping weekend.
While going back to my motor, on a grass verge, I went full length and missed the rear recovery bumper by only millimetres with my head as I went over.
Some say it might have done some good if I'd hit it :lol:

Everytime I'm working on the front wheels I catch that damn winch bumper.

Thinking back to when I catch my head and looking at the damage you did Col I can only assume that was one hell of a "my head hurts" dance that you did afterwards. :)

I've got the QT ones with a 3 laser cut into the arm and cursed when I went to take a photo and was just about to post it on MC when I spotted the picture looked inverted.

Looked at the arms and they were on the wrong side.

Yes I did have to go out and change them around. :)
