Is there much work in putting a bumper off a HZ wagon onto my HJ Van? i have it ready to go on but just wondering if there is any easy way or not? I was just going to make up a new bracket to bolt it on.. Thanks Justin

Just check the width. If you put a wagon bumper on a ute the ends stick out a bit, enough to put your hand between the bumper and the body. They can be shortened in the middle and rechromed no problem. |

They fit, but you have to make up brackets. You cant drop the tailgate down all the way with a full bar, and your towbar will probably be useless. |
