D44 bumper on! Wasnt a perfect fit had to enlarge 4 of the holes to almost 18mm! Just would not fit otherwise.
Sadly not compatible with standard steering guards. Usually you can bend the mounts out the way but this is too well made and to thicker steel to work properly with it. So D44 guard ordered...
Terrafirmas "Magnetic Finger" was a godsend getting the nuts on the bolts! £10 and a brilliant bit of kit!
Also not sure how to drill these ones out just yet... Looks like the steering guard uses the same mounting points (3 bolts in the front xmember) so I could fit that mark and drill but ill need some damn long bits!
(Edit - I found some 120mm long 10mm drill bits, so plan is to drill straight thru the bottom of xmember and out the top. While trying to avoid punching a hole in the rad - Any other suggestions still welcome )
Got a couple A Bars on the way one is a standard a bar for non A/C fenders the other is a low level unit by Terrafirma.
The standard non AC A Bar should let me retain my Lightforce spots but it may sit too high with how the D44 bumper sits. I can have it modified but it depends on a few things - I MUST learn to weld!!
Second bar would involve selling my LF Spots and replacing with x4 5" spots or a single bar. Unsure which yet bur similar to the image below
