Re: GU Rear Bumper

Re: GU Rear Bumper
Gents the idea is a plain simple bumper with recover points and good ground vclearance and def LED lights no more huge patrol drop out lights , with optional spare wheel carrier

Re: GU Rear Bumper
Driko, please see if you can also recess the trailer plug?
Every time I need to hook a trailer, I need to bend my plug bracket kack into position!
If you need any help, I will also be around that weekend.
