Someone will have a hell of a job trying to steal my winch bumper! I had to ram it into the chassis legs by bashing it with a sledgehammer (+ block of wood), so short of using a sledgehammer to get it out, its stuck in there!
its quite weighty though!

ive got the wrap around bull bar on mine. mainly for a bit of extra protection and somewhere to mount my oscars on but ill be either buying or fabricating a heavy duty bumper at some point. Probably a rear one as well.
pickle power!

I've got stick on wind deflectors on my Vit, I put them on back in 2001 and they've never come off, I've even had bits of bush stuck in them. They don't seem to actually deflect any wind but I can leave the window open a little when offroading and I don't end up with a wet lap when the Vit tilts. They also help prevent the car steaming up on a hot and wet day

mine are the 30 pound ones that slot in the grooves. makes the window hard to get up for the last 5 mm but great when your steaming up and its raining. good and strong aswell.
