i want em and shipping is the painful bit, if we can get enough of us it will work out cheaper if we do it by Pallet so hands up who is serious, it will be by ship so it will take a month or so, we need atleast 5 orders to make it worth while

no will be the steel ones, justforjeeps have them, but its the shipping which is the killer, hence why it works better for a few in one batch

our setup is different to the yanks, if you look there's a mount point for the screw in hook, i am looking at making some ubolt type hooks to weld to the bumper, after i move house its first on my list, the factory ones are ridiculous in price, our front end setup is very different to theirs

So if we take our bumper off, it'll look different underneath?
If you wanna attatch u bolts, your gonna have to cut out a section in the front bumper right?

the engine one is listed at $145 usd and the tank ones $80 usd x 2
timing and quantity is critical, hope fully when the aussie dollar climbs up a bit more as the US economy slows more will be the time to pounce, as to freight i have to investigate some more

theres extensive threads on mounting etc, ive checked under mine and most of the stuff is already installed such as cage nuts etc, but its not a real dificult job
