Just down the road from me too

 

[silvercruiser]

How much d these normally sell for?

 

[Shayne]

Over a grand new i think

 

[silvercruiser]

yeah i just looked on tbr £1240

 

[Shayne]

I've spent 3 days trying desperately and failing miserably to convince myself it would look good on my 90

 

[wobbly]

Not road legal it says in the ad?

Is that correct?

 

[Shayne]

I think that depends on what year your truck was registered not sure what year the law came in though ?

 

[Chas]

AFAIK they are legal if a winch is fitted as then it is a tool not cosmetic.

 

[silvercruiser]

I do have a spare winch sitting in the Garage

 

[Shayne]

I think they planned to ban then decided instead to ban vehicle manufacturers from fitting them to new vehicles . Bumper/bullar manufacturers were ordered to stop making them for road use but they were allowed to sell what stock they had left , and/or continue selling them as NOT for road use . As Chas said adding a winch turns it into a utility bumper which is acceptable in law . Your truck was sold new with bullbars long before Britain was sold to Brussels and all this BS started so if you want it Joe i wouldn't be put off .

It's a good price...

 

[silvercruiser]

He's relisted it again.

 

[Shayne]

And it won't sell again because people search for a bumper to fit their truck and he just says its an arb bumper , i only found it because i was toying with the idea of buying something and modifying it to fit my truck .

I think Shayne means the main title isnt very vehicle specific.
