Fitting Overriders Help Please

[jp]

I thought it was about time I fitted my overriders that I got for joint birthday and christmas

So where do they go?.

Rear First..

Here is my starting point

I've started on the rear by bolting to the outer bumper bracket mount and it looks a bit wrong.

Think it looks better in line with the light but that will mean drilling a hole in the bumper for the coach bolts which I'm happy to do unless told otherwise.

I haven't looked at the front yet and I've welded and smoothed the front bumper so there are no visable bolts so will mean drill holes in the front bumper. .. any pointer where they should go and pics much appreciated.

After a late night of google imaging.. who'd believe it would be so hard to find pics of rear ends of early bays with overriders on.. well finding photos which were from directly behind rather than on an angle where it was difficult to tell was my main issue searching.

Anyway found a couple on here looking through the gallery and it def looks like they mount through the outer mounting bolt which makes sense (certainly from an impact perspective) even though it is out of alignment with rear light which I find a little annoying

I'm guessing its the same deal with the front ones.

There's indeed some offset on the overriders...

Same pn the front

My rears on the outer most bumper mounting bolt


Fronts are set at the same distance apart as the rear, I didn't like the look using the bumper bolts. Its hard to tell in this pic but I also
cut out the inner profile so they sit square on to the front and not aiming outwards following the curve of the bumper

Cheers for the replies guys.

Nugsy I like what you've done by spacing them out to match the rear.. When I offered mine up I was thinking it looked better more spaced apart...so think I'll go with that and do as you have done and cut a slice off one side to get them pointing forward.

Cheers
