Yes the C (orU ) Channel bumber on the Troopy.. good for a bush bar, ie to push through bush, and take out the odd tree that needs an extra hard nudge. The ARB bar on the dark wagon is a excellent bar too, hundreds of thousands of them made, ARB have been the masters here in OZ.. For years this...

Flat out with other work... but have finally serviced both the 75s, took the seats out, one now has new floor pans welded in. Took the roofs off to inspect.. plenty of angles and rubbers, no wonder they leak and some rust... Roof was heavy for 2 to lift off in one piece. I took the roo bars...
