SupraStar 3000 Posted August 19, 2006 Share Posted August 19, 2006 Fitting a Do-luck bumper Please help. I finally get around to trying Jurgen’s Do-luck bumper this morning. My mate who works in a bodyshop is fitting this and added some extra strength to sides and smoothed / primed it ready for painting but, to our horror the bumper seems a mile away from the profile of the car. The side sections seem to be over sized by about 3”. We can physically bend the edges inwards but the area in front of the lights remains to far forward and the wrong profile. The substantial crash bar/rigidizing bar is completely in the way. I assume you guys need to remove this or cut it but this seems to be an essential part of the chassis structure. Also the small angular bar that runs underneath the headlight is also interfering with the fitment and is welded to the car which is required for lighting fitments. Should this be modified? From all I have asked this should be an easy job. What I’m I doing wrong. I’m stressed Please help. Ed Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daston Posted August 19, 2006 Share Posted August 19, 2006 Yep crash bar has to go IIRC. Its there to protect the rad from slow inpact hits and wont do squat against a big smash so no real loss. Just dont hit anything slowly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SupraAyf Posted August 19, 2006 Share Posted August 19, 2006 Sorry to burst in chaps but is this going to be the case for many of the aftermarket bumpers or are the mods that you've mentioned just applicable to the Do-Luck (which I'm considering I may add!). Cheers all, Andrew Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dragonball Posted August 19, 2006 Share Posted August 19, 2006 You will have to remove the carsh bar m8 - if it doesn't fit elsewhere then you are ****ed The side sections of the Do-Luck are oversized by 25 mm each side on the originals to fit the overfenders that would normally come with the kit I have modified my Samurai fronts to reduce this so that they fit... You physically cannot pull in the outsides - sounds like you will have to cut and fill them - and smooth them round - similarly with the lights section Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SupraStar 3000 Posted August 19, 2006 Author Share Posted August 19, 2006 ok Paul, Thanks. But removing the crash bar must effect insurance, or make your current insurance void. What have you guys done? Have you told your insurance? Is anyone with Sky thats got a Doluck? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
