Urgent rear bumper
Well It's good to be back. But sad to say, I've actually had some damage on my Patrol over the holidays.
Driving into a big mud pool, the right side suddenly gave way beneath my rear back wheel and the vehicle fell on its side. The only way out, was to drive out.. but in the process I ripped off my rear bumper.
The car survived, but now I need a replacement.
As the patrol is my primary vehicle, I now drive around town without rear lights on my right hand side and it's only a matter of time before I'm pulled over.
I've phoned around and the earliest delivery time for a steel bumper is 2-3 weeks.
If anyone out there is aware of a dealer having a single rear bumper in the Gauteng area please let me know.

May the road be long.. and dirty.

I still have my old one that was replaced because the old one was a bit damaged.

Re: Urgent rear bumper
In the mean time, parhaps it's a good idea to commision the body-mounted lights?
I hope that's the only damage?

Re: Urgent rear bumper
Herrie: I would be very interested in looking at your old bumper?
If you could please give me a ring at zero 8 2 five six 0 6 tree eight 6.
Peter: Well, some body damage and one body mounted light yes. I'm going to try to source that today. I'm guessing Nissan will probably murder me for around R 2800 for the light alone.

Re: Urgent rear bumper
If you dont come right with a replacement bumper - you can put globe attachments in the body lights. Took me approx 2 hours with all lights working.

Jy kan ook met Grootseun praat. Die laaste wat ek met hom gepraat het was hy besig om 'n harde buffer te ontwerp en bou. Hy kan dalk help met 'n beter buffer as die oorspronklike een.

Re: Urgent rear bumper
Ben kan vir jou nice sterk staal bumpers bou. Ek het myne by hom laat doen en oor die vakansie tyd het almal wat die Patrol gesien het gese dit lyk great. So nie alleen is dit sterk nie maar dit lyk great.

Ek gaan nou in Januarie my staal bumper by Ben laat maak.
As jy geintereserd is in 'n staal buffer, is dit in my opinie baie beter waarde vir geld as die prefab bumpers wat jy by die 4x4 handelaars kan kry.
Een opsie is wat Nico gedoen het, wat slegs die hoeke is (ligter).
Die ander opsie is wat ek gaan laat doen , volgens die "Poolse" ontwerp.
(http://www.patrol4x4.co.za/viewtopic.ph ... ish+patrol)
Alternatiewelik kan ek jou my plestiek bumper smous (wit), siende dat ek nou een van staal gaan laat maak.
PM my as jy belangstel.
