Today I started fitting the front Genright alum stubby bar... more cutting and grinding than expected - seems to be more brackets and stuff on the '13 than the instructions indicated.

The new bumper doesn't have space for the fog lights, so I figure I will re-purpose them as under body rock lights. Anyway...

Did something smart/stupid - put a sheet over the grill and hood to protect it whilst cutting and grinding... little did I know that I had wiped silicon on the sheet days (weeks??) before and I smeared the goo all over the hood etc. So had to remove with kero, and then polish the faded spots... PITA, but all good now.

Bye bye huge lump of plastic...



Hello bunch of wiring and way more brackets than I expected...



Had to cut the lower bar to suit, but also had to cut off this bracket for the vac pump:



Bracket gonesky...

...forgot to take pics of the actual bumper installed (test fitted), was running short on time. I left the winch tray installed, and threw on the d-ring points until I get a chance to finish it off. Looks a bit rude, but much better than that crazy bench seat stock bumper!

Stay tuned...

Thanks... must admit I was in 2 minds about the cherry red... but I really love the colour.

Picking up a load of goodies today, ready for some wrenching over the Chrissy breaks!

I picked up a 2011 Cherry Red about 2 months ago. Wasn't my preferred colour but it has really grown on me and I can't imagine having any other colour.
