Different strokes for different folks. :mrgreen: I personally quite like both.
Unfortunatly even with the bobbed deck there was no room for bugger all as the cage and fuel tank took up most of the deck.

sorry chap, as nice as the fab work youve done etc and i know you were just workin to the job scope, i'm just preferrin what it was prior to what it is now..



Bang on El-nibbo. I just do as I am told :wink: Bit like being a prostitute with a grinder (thats not a nice thought :lol: ) instead of fish nets. :wink:

Give me a yell when your wagon is 14yrs old :( Then we can remove the airbags. Im sorry but at this stage its just not gonna happen. It would require destruction testing to get a box of stickers. This is ok and could be done but.............. every bar would become generic :? . That would suck!!
Rear bars are ok and we're allowed to play with them :mrgreen:
