I usually see the top of my arch on my bumper, can't see it anymore and wondering if I bent something perhaps?

I did nudge it against a bollard earlier gently!!

Can't remember adjusting seat and the bonnet was firmly shut.. :nenau

Also I suspect either just more cutting needed or the torsion sat the front have stopped some as the tyres were catching nicely on reverse.. :rolleyes:

With your bumper... the bumper has remained where it was... it's the truck that's moved...:doh

Don't really understand which bit you mean, maybe a Pic would help:thumb2

Edit:-
Hang on... you mean the top loop on your bumper... you used to use it to aim at things, and now you can't see it from the driver's seat...

Ahhh.. have you used the winch and pulled it out and twisted the scaffolding poles?

Yes the hoop on the top used to poke out slightly so I could just see it.

Now it appears I can't see it anymore :nenau

I did gently bump a bollard yesterday but we're talking gentle.

Just wondered if the bumper could have moved? :nenau

You mean the tooth pick, maybe your truck has grown a bit more Alex :augie

Since Rick fitted your bumper, and it's designed for a winch to pull on, I would be amazed if a tiny knock on a bollard has moved the bumper... The rest of the car has moved in relation to the bumper maybe, but not that bumper... It has it's own place in space and time, and just can not be moved.... It's more likely the knock ripped your seat out of it's mountings, so your view of the bumper is looking different.:augie

Yeah I think your right,

I actually went to the hassle of getting the dash cam and checking the before and after footage to see if the top of the bumper has been moved :rolleyes:

Sure enough it was in exactly the same place :lol

I could do with relocating the front number plate as it's cracked again :doh

I get the feeling someone said "I told you so" last time this happened...

As your torsion bars have sagged & the front end has dropped your view across the bonnet will have changed slightly so instead of seeing the top of the hoop your now looking above it:augie

I don't think that's correct? Everything is lifted in harmony with the torsion bars right?

I will try, but can't drive at the mo, to even reverse it out of it's nice warm and dry garage.

I will post soon though.
