Well, winch bumper arrived today - ordered from TBRUK

Very nicely made indeed. For those of you who don't want a great big roo-basher on the front and would rather keep the original plastic (Mmm, lovely) this is the answer. Only trouble is that the instructions are all in German. Have asked if they have 'em in English Fitting fur de nutz and boltzen klamper tightzening.

Has anyone fitted one of these themselves? I got home from work and in less than an hour had the thing offered up and loosely bolted on. There are some brackets and bits which I simply can't find a use for.
The basics are that you unbolt the towing brackets under the chassis rails and bolt this in it's place. The winch (err, sadly not included) goes inside the box. You then cut off the bottom rail from the plastic bumper and remount the number plate. You couldn't fit the whole thing including the winch in an hour, but with two on the job, I reckon 2 1/2 hours job done.

I'm taking pictures as usual. Any experience welcome.

Ahh, I'm with you. So these people host our pictures and the forum links to the pic on their site? And they do this for free? Go figure!

I'll give it a go.

Cheers
