Going, going, gone
« on: April 25, 2006, 17:29:34 »
Well, we've already had "now you see it now you don't" ;)

The rust-farm which was my front bumper is no more, I have ripped it off. I had to trawl my memory on how to get 15-year-old bolts off, until I remembered that grinders fit all nut sizes :)

The piles of rust in front of the wheels are what dropped out from the bumper - ooo-er!

New HD bumper "fitted" - well the bolts are in. I also have a nudge bar to fit and wanted to post up with the bumper and nudge bar fitted, but even though I am no 6-stone weakling juggling a 5mm steel bumper and nudge bar on one knee while feeling behind to fit any one of the 4 bolts they want to share was a task too far for me, need another pair of hands at least to tackle that.

Elmo - is that a Paddocks HD bumper?  I'm after one of these soon for my 300.  Hopefully my light bar and IPF spots will fit on to it, as it looks smaller than the OEM jobbie.

If it's not Paddocks - where and how much?  :wink:

Looking good.

Got it from Paddocks £192 +VAT and it is truly built like the proverbial tank. Finish is very good, Hi-Lift Jack points and recovery points included. Bolts to the front chassis members with 6 bolts so is pretty solid.

@Jim-Willy - Bearmach bullbar and steering guard plus diff guards yet to be added :) Allus be a Yorkshireman to pick fault, especially on of them funny folk from CleckHuddersFax. Luckily I don't suffer the same way, I'm from Leeds ;)

Nudge and spots fitted now, feel like I'm getting somewhere.
Not fitting the steering guard yet as I need to change the damper, and I guess the guard will make this job harder  :?

U can see how juggling the two and fitting the nuts could be quite difficult, I've only got the a bar steering gaurd an standard bumper an that was fun enough
