Dobinsons rear bumper

[Webster77]

Does anyone with an HDJ81 have any experience installing Dobinsons rear 80 bumper? It looks like the HDJ81 has extra tabs and is minus a few holes for mounting purposes. Just trying to get my mind right before I start cutting tabs off the frame to install...

Have you emailed Dobinsons USA for more information on how to fit?

FWIW I had to grind off those extra tabs on my HDJ to fit the Slee rear bumper.

I have spoke with them, they were not aware of these extra steps needed...

Thanks for the heads up! I was satisfied with the quality of the bumper, but in their defense I’m not sure if they’ve looked into the JDM market for the instructions.

The HDJ81 frame is no different from any other RHD 80.

I’m not sure about the HDJ81 frame being any different than any other RHD 80, but there was nothing in their instructions/diagram about cutting these off. And that bumper definitely wasn’t going on unless these came off!
