3/4" air impact gun and you don't even need to jack the front of the truck up!

| I uesd a breaker bar with the truck on the floor. I let the sway bar alone to but if you do this make sure you stamp on the brakes a couple of times inbetween ajustments to get an acurate reading. |

Right - Have one Mk1 LWB frontera winch bumper nicely sitting on a LWB MK2 trooper.
Modifications needed :-
The arms for connecting to the chassis - About 2mm (!!!) to narrow on the bumper -one slug on each side with a sledge hammer, and fit like a glove.
The wiper motors for the headlights catch - cut a 2" square slot for them on the top of the bumper.
There's a 12V ECU for something behind the original bumper, undid the bracket, turned round, and now is well out of the way
Locating holes needed elongating with a file on the bumper - took about 3 - 4 minutes per hole.
Have a winch bumper  
I assume that bull bars, A bars, (potentially side steps with a little drilling) from a LWB MK1 frontera will nearly bolt straight on a MK2 (possibly MK3/4???) trooper, from my experience it'll work, but don't quote me on ouwt !!!

Do you have a winch or do you know what winch you want to fit?
Cheers
Mark

About to go out now with the hairy dryer, if that doesn't work, cellulose thinners will
It's a lot less bulky than i thought that it'd be, but takes 2 people to lift it

Watching fleabay at the momement, thinking along the lines of 6000 - 10000lb winch, not one of the Chinese import ones though.

One sand and a lick of paint later....
Just need to have guard fabricated from the bottom of the bumper to the top of the skid plate.
