its not an easy task to do uc, i put freighter ones on mine and it took a lot of muckin about and swearing!
depends on if you have a towbar and what type of tow bar, some long roof screws and lots of mudguard washers is the best way and screw em into the metal panel behind the bumper.

gday mate. had teh same problem with my xh, cos there wasnt much of a flat surface to bolt them to. the way i did it is with a piece of 90degre bent aluminium. put some bolts or tech screws thru the bottom of your bumper to the bottom of the the alu. the alumininum looks like and ' L ' so have the foot of the L facing the back of the car, and then you can bolt the muddies on to the vertical bit of it. worked for me, just need to cut the exhaust side into 2 pieces. if ya wanna see a pic of it. let me know and i can get ya one so you can see how it all goes together.

homer · 18-07-2008, 17:54

nope mine just rested against it never had a problem or damage to the bumper but make sure you use the rubber flaps n not the hard ones cause they dont flex as much
