I'd cut back the over rider bit so it's narrower. then move the lights outward. that'll let you mount the main bar higher so it looks better just under the door line. Even more clearance then and it'll look like it's meant to be there

![]() A winch is a winch bud, I don't think there's any ambiguity there that you could use and even if there was do you want to be trying to argue it in the case of an accident? Also remember you need to inform your insurance about the change of bumper's rear and front. |

Nah, that Tirfor winch is a bad boy! Rick was checking it out yesterday and he was impressed with it.
I'm wondering if I put a cable in the front for "winching" if it would count ![]() |

Remember bud your talking about making your vehicle non-road legal in the eyes of the law.
Even if you don't get stopped think of what would happen if you had an accident as I bet your insurance company would wash their hands and so you'd have no insurance never mind anything else ![]() Up to you at the end of the day but I wouldn't be risking it ![]() |

![]() He could not answer me so spoke to underwriter, who also had no idea. They said they would call me back. 4 hours later they call, and gave me the good news ![]() I explained in detail what the bumpers were, I made the joke and said as I work in the trade I wouldn't claim anyway, he uh. Made a good joke back and said "well I think the other car would get written off anyway" ![]() I told them to consider them fitted as I'm gonna do it ASAP ![]() Also got call recorded ![]() |

Alex bud just 'cos they work for the insurance company doesn't mean they can give you an all clear as far as the law is concerned
![]() There's plenty info on the net about it so I'm not gonna say any more I just hope you don't have to put that recorded phonecall to the test for the sake of buying a cheap winch to stick on the bumper (nobody said you had to use it). |
