David,

The front bumper looks like a homemade one to me and the guy who made it look like he try to weld a "F" script on to it.

Default Will have to check it out

Hi David and Ian

I must admit I did not take much notice of the bumper, you could both be right. I will have to check and ask my friend if it has been welded etc.

Cheers

Tony

Hi Tony,

No worries mate! Happy to help and even happier to get the word out about Aussie jeep mods- especially if it helps preserve that jeeps history.

It would be interesting to see if there are other mouthing holes on the grill, chassis rails or side of the passenger side mudguard to aid in mounting the muffler.

The next thing would be whether it would be street legal to have a muffler facing forward/ out the front or not, but I'm sure he could mount one there and not have it hooked up as a display type thing.

I may have some 'official' info on this mod- will see what I can find and send along to you to pass on if I do.

I agree about the bumper, not an original by appearance in the photo shown.

Cheers,
Ian.

Hi Ian

Thanks mate, I will get onto my friend and pass on the information. He is a new member of the WVCG and club members are helping him out.

All the best for the Festive season.

Cheers

Tony
