Rear panel trim
A lot of guys do this on safari's. Just want to know if anyone thinks the WOF man wont like it or any reason not to do it for that type of reason. I think it looks silly with no rear bumper, also means exhaust can end earlier. Unfortunately cant cut them off completely level with the bottom of the rear doors due to fuel filler hose, im thinking just level with frame.
It shouldnt be too hard to unplug the wiring and drill another hole further up for it. Could rivet some aluminium over the panel hole and bog it to seal it up or something like that, just give it a try and see how it goes lol. Im a less is more kind of guy.
Any thoughts?
Rear tow hook
Also while the rear of my bighorn is subject - there is no where good to mount a tow hook! Would be very hard to hold nuts/bolts inside the chassis rail from the small entry point. Ive seen tow hooks mounted to where my tow bar is, and I could put a large shackle through where the large bolt holding the drop bar is, but I dont like the idea of snatching in the same direction as the bolts...
I think those extra bits welded onto the bottom of my frame were put as supports to the frame (since nothing was bolted to them when I removed everything) when towing a heavy load (you can see the two holes on each side where the towbar used to be mounted, it was a pretty heavy duty setup)
So keen to see how people have done this.
Last picture is for a laugh, see how wasted my rear shackle bushes were! Want to get onto the body lift this weekend but the carport is occupied with my nice clean VR4 im trying to sell and I dont want it to get rained on so I dont have to wash it again haha.
Cheers
