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

Grant ive your going away on that long weekend pop around wih your GQ and htey can measure and design on your vehicel also , id love fo rus to have affordable bumpers for GU and GQ on file so when needed we just have the laser cutter cut and we assemble

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! :surprised: :rolling:

If you need any help, I will also be around that weekend.

Hi Driko,

Will do so. I am planning to be at home. Below is the pic of the one I designed. Cannot find the file but will start looking.
