    I know they're not everyone's cup of tea but I'm after a front bull bar for my 76 bay - the type that I can mount a spare wheel on. Anyone got one spare?

    Or if anyone has any other ideas other than the spare wheel well in the boot (I want to fit a full width bed), I'd love to hear any suggestions. Just a bit loath to drill holes in my newly painted front panel.

    Just pull the wheel out and bung it under the van when the beds down?

    Knowing my luck, I'd forget it was there and drive off without it! I was going to cover the whole back shelf bit with a full width foam - how do others do it?

    I did as @Baysearcher suggested, but as you say, lost count of the number of times I set off with it underneath.
    Now on the front.

    Did you use a bull bar or one those plates with 3 wheel nuts?

    Just a plate on the front....but I think there are ones you can get that fasten to the bumper and grill to save drilling front panel.

    Sounds good. Anyone got one of these?
     
  9. Alternatives to front mount - Devon style on the rear bumper or Landmark style swing out carrier or on a roofrack?

    Thank you for this. What is it everyone has against bull bars though?
     
  11. I like Bull bars, I would actually like some for the Jurgens just because they look cool :)

    If I can't find one (I only want the front one I think) then I'm going to see if I can get one made.

    I've got a spare in the garage but the freight would be horrendous.

    Hmm.... probably right! 12,000 miles is a bit far. Would you be very kind and be able to send me a few detailed pics and overall dimensions so I can get one made? Bit cheeky I know. I could post you a few Zip Buddys with pics of your bus by way of a thank you?
     
  15. I seem to remember @tarzan had one on his Jurgens ? He may know where ??

    Thank you. Looks nice but would need a wheel carrier welding on. Problem is its collection only from Enniskillen.
