Title: alternative front bumper
Post by: hammondo on July 11, 2012, 12:17:04 AM

I've done a search but not found the answer, is there any known front bumper (1 piece) thats a good fit on a bedford? I can fabricate brackets etc.

failing that does anyone have some standard front bumpers for sale?

thanks
Greg

ive heard landcruiser ones will fit and look good, what exact model im not sure.

but if you have a ARB 4x4 accessory company or a wrecking yard close by give them a look into.

i know that bedfords only came out with the 2 little bumperetts but a 1 piece steel front bar would give a lot more protection.

id get a  steel front bumper bar before a fiberglass one any day.

yo @waikatostocky if you can make brackets up. Then maybe you could get some stainless exhaust pipe bent up to fit?

Hey Ben

Remember that rainy night when we were talking crap and stuff, and you promised me your first born. I have found what I want it to look like:

Does that qualify as a one piece bumper?

Oh and I mean the one on the outside.

Come on somebody else hassle Ben into making some.

and the grill is just a grill with the centre cut out and stightly modded.
