are you saying Extreme is a pimp? Just cos he's welsh and got three sheep?

supertaff · 21-02-2009, 12:50

But Extreme IS NOT WELSH ...... He's an asylum seeker from ENGLAND !!!!

shhhh.... dont let everyone know they will all be down here

the bumper is strong enough for spots, I drilled two mounts, if you feel around
thru the vents just beneath top of bumper you'll find the re-enfoced are and
where to drill, i used spreader washers to accomodate trucker 9" spots though
have been off for 2 years and needed access to rad when it was full of mud
for the power washer and never got round to putting them back on. were handy
as could just see tops of them over end of bonnet to indicate where front of
car is/was!

I've seen quite a few photo's of Ozzy Terrano's, where they have additional spots on top of the bull bars, which look quite cool.

Don't think those high ones would be legal over here ... Seem to remember seeing restrictions as to height/width from side of bodywork. No doubt someone has more info on this.

might be ok if driving/spot pattern and go off with mainbeam, not really that different
to TRS's rally pod(s).

anyone admit to remembering the chrysler/talbot mantra? think fiberglass off roader
styled not unlike classic rangey if squinted had spot/work lights on bulkhead in front
of windscreen. despite looks was definitely a 2by. think what wasnt plastic rotted
within few weeks lol.
