Front Bumper

Hi Gents,

I have 2 x pairs of Urban Truck DRL's which i'm now thinking about fitting and wondered about their positioning + spacing on the bumper.
I've just sat and cut 4 x white magnetic vinyl circles to see how they look but i'm open to starting suggestions if anyone has them fitted already please ??

I also quite like the idea of a front mounted tow ball for manouvering my trailers etc.
I've seen a pic of a Safari Equip steering guard with a retriever hitch which i like the look of but i'm wondering if anyone has any ideas on bumper mounted tow balls as i don't know if i want to go the steering gaurd route, i'll add that i'm not keen on the detachable type that hook over the bumper.
I'm also going to investigate further and have a look on line to get some ideas as it looks too wet outside to be playing with my magnets !!!

Thanks,
Mark

Where did you get the UT DRLs from?

Don't like the look of tow balls on bumpers personally, but my mate has just fitted the military style bumper with the pin through it, but I assume you would need a nato style hitch to utilise that.

First Four do an HD bumper with built in 2 " receiver , which you could then plug your 2" comparable tow bar into for shunting stuff around.

Cheers.

I used to have an original I believe front receiver. I didn't even know it was there until so,some pointed it out. But if you do get the actual receiver I have a 2inch removable tow hitch for sale, @£30+pp
