You need to cut into the skid plate. I had mine fitted as I couldn't have been bothered doing it myself. I built 2 wranglers before this one and didn't want to do it again.

No facebook page, I was on instagram but haven't been active for a long time now.

Ahhh gotchya that's a fair point 😂. Are you able to provide some more pictures of the actual areas they cut would like to get a rough idea of the lines and angles they followed. It's rare to see these ironman bars around and tbh might be biased but one of the best looking bars around imo.

No worries, I'll try and get some pics for you on the weekend. It's only thin material there so a multi-tool or cut off tool would cut through it easily. Maybe just some pinchweld U seal over the cuts to keep it looking good.

First offroad trip with my 2012 Overland 3.0CRD I've had since new (it's done over 250K) and after a raft of maintenance work and essential ad-ons and accessories over the last 6 months, 95% done myself, I headed off for a windsurfing and camping trip to Shark Bay for the last 2 weeks. Had a great trip and the Jeep performed admirably through over 100k's of the unforgiving deep sand and corrugations on the trails of the Francois Peron National Park as well as a few beach runs. I have to admit I was nervous, not because I doubted it's capabilities but fearful of the joy I'd give to other 4WD owners if my return trip was on a flat-bed truck! Already planning another trip for 24! (1st and last pics are before and after)
Bottle BayHeading north to Cape Peron - this is one of the better quality roads[/img]Herald Bight - beautiful shallow waters hold huge numbers of whiting - in the 1930's a whiting cannery existed here. The beach is OK to drive on but the track onto the beach is pretty challengingCamping at Bottle Bay was awesome. Most spots had a short walk to the beach and there are ample clean drop toilets - just have to bring in and take out everything else.Other than needing a good wash and maybe copping some scratches down the sides, came home as good as it left. Averaged 13.5L/100k's on the open road which is not bad considering the drag from the stuff on the roofrack.
