Cross8 '04

Mine had no oil left. I used the air chisel to rip the cut shells out, which were rusted to the frame.

I have questions.
1. How tight did you do those bolts?FT with a long bar?
2. Did you use red lock tight?
3. Can you post back about if they come loose or need a retighten?

1. Yes FT

2. Yes

3. Worst part it the under tray that covers it all and makes a quick check a bit harder. Hopefully I notice b4 the wheel flies off.

OK.

I have been roped into a road trip to Deni for the long weekend and unfortunately being the hillbilly that I am the ute needs to have a 5 poster.

It's something I have been leaning towards anyway but this has tipped me over the edge so the chase is on to find one in time.

I know that they are not everyones cup of tea but it's what I want. Apart from finding one working out how the sides will work with the flares on the Cross8 is also going to be interesting.

Figure the flares out when bar goes on.

the ute needs to have a 5 poster.

Have the rules around bull bars been sorted… don’t know…

Bull bars: What are the rules in New South Wales?

If your car or ute has a bull bar, is it legal? Find out about the regulations for the bars here.

Hi all.

Have just pulled the bumper support bar off my ute and have found these black brackets on the passenger side. Driver side doesn't have them.

I'm assuming they are bracing for the tow point on that side.

 

[MuckUte]

Was thinking they look a bit aftermarket.

100%.
Maybe some form of recovery point where recovery straps were attached??

Or has it previously had a Bullbar? Maybe the other side has had them removed?

That’s a new one.
