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.
