The face of the Patrol copped a bit of surgery today.
The OE bumper was removed and replaced with a TJM bullbar and a winch insert that had both been lying about for a while.
Primary complication was the fact that the Patrol was in an accident a decade a so back and is clearly not square. The new bar mounts have plenty of up and down adjustment but very little fore and aft...
Right side is an inch out.
Left side is fine.
Oh well.
In the end...it’s a farm ute.
Still have to wire in the winch and spot lights but the rest will do...

Thanks!
For now it looks fine ...so many kangaroos around at the moment that alignment issues are probably not a long term issue!

Indenting the plate to something more akin to a splash zone than point of first contact might be a consideration.

It might work...but I think I'll pass as it strikes me as somewhat unethical compared to a day on a chassis straightener!

I haven’t got a roo since 2004...so the odds are good.
The Forester got jumped into a couple of months ago though just on dusk...I wasn’t driving so that doesn’t count.
The roadsides out of town in every direction are littered with dead bodies...

OOOHHHH, ok I think I mis understood what you were saying. I didn’ t think hitting kangaroos was a valid form of body work, but who knows ya’ll might know something I don’t. haha
