"turns off the stereo"???? sounds like either a dodgey connection/power drain!.....the fact the bulbs have gone....are they wired in right???

They weren't wired in when i bought it so i wired them in to the live for the stereo temporarily (nearly 2 years ago) not to good considering i'm electrician I'm not to worried, i only use them for flashing at people.

When i were round scotties he tried to persuade me to buy his bumper......he even put it in place on me sj(such a salesman )......and i admit it did look quite nice......so nice in fact i didnt buy it and thought id make my own.........



never underestimate card board....it makes great templates

What can I say I tried! question is will yours look better


what size tube are you using? 80mm?

dont forget to up the bolt size from standard and sleeve the chassis the standard holes aren't man enough for the job.

I think it'll be fine with the holes as they are buddy.....i had the bullbars with that tow eye on and it took some punishment and that was only fixed one side......im bolting through on this baby

And yer matey....80ish mm....wouldve liked a lil bigger but its wat we had collecting rust

todays progress....
drew round template

roughly cut by mr angry

sanded back to marker lines


bolt on brackets


try up time


mark and label for tomorrows dinner time tack and try


oh as i mentioned the tow eye.....this is wat you'll be gettin scottie

Wow, that's gonna look smart.

Thanks ed...!
will have it finished tomorrow

tacked up and was bang on first go....so welded up(iknow the welds arent pretty but i was rushing ) and cut the holes with the welder for the eyes to sit in......

thought id box the bracket....

work ended so took it home for a try up....better to check twice than to have to cut the bleddy thing apart if its wrong somehow

did the end caps same as the brackets

all todo now is weld/clean and paint

Looks What colour you going for, black or orange??

bit of both me thinks matey....but not sure which way round.....lumo bar & black check plate....or tuvver way
