Default AU Nudge Bar

Just picked up a nudge bar to fit my new HID Spotties to.
These babies are going to out shine the sun :hihi:

Looks like like Mechan1k's old one, as below

Me, question is, has anyone self fitted one, are they easy enough to fit?
Im hoping it will just bolt right up.

I just need to see daylight long enough to do it too....

You have to remove the front bar naturally, and some require a bit of cutting near the dummy vents. My TJM one went on without cutting, but I think the Bocar ones or ECB ones may need a small cut.

I've fitted an EL Falcon one to my explorer; few mods required, but not too hard. I've also undone one from an EL - they're pretty straight forward.

Ragtop has fitted one to his ute - might be worth a PM for tips.

Definitely take the front bar off; I had to drill the holes to mount the brackets for the nudge bar; was a bit of mucking around, but got it sitting where I wanted.

Did you get all the mounting brackets, nuts and bolts??

Got the mounting brackets, missing 3 bolts though....

Looks like a bumper off job, D'oh!

I am pretty sure my front bar had to come off to get it fitted up.
I wasn't there when it was fitted to the ute.

I had Tru-Racks in Penrith fit it for me (along with the driving lights)
So unfortunately I didn't get a good look at the fitting ... they did trim back the dummy plates a fraction ... but it was still neat.
