    As Rough as Guts

    I last polished my headlights before I had my Bull bar fitted by ?????.
    I went to polish them again today and I noticed that the two bottom mounts on the r/hand headlight assembly were broken also the two mounting bolts on the top were loose as well, Not at all impressed here.
    It looks like they have bashed underneath the headlight assembly when they fitted the bullbar.
    Not only did they damage the truck, They made NO attempt to fix it or to let me know it was Buggered.
    I have done about 4,000ks since the bar was fitted and it is an just dumb luck that the whole assembly hasn't fallen off.

    RapidFix, or the other one I can't remember, which is better. Fix it right up.

    I'd be spewing, though.

    Just a thought, could it have been some one trying to pinch your lights?
    I’m pretty sure the dinosaurs died out when they stopped gathering food and started having meetings to discuss gathering food

    Only thing against that is; Why did they stop? They nearly had them, looking at that. But, will they come out? I've never tried with the bonnet down.

    Well, there are certain low lifes among us who would steal the gold out of their Mothers teeth, to get money to feed their habit. Chances are they are not that bright, to go with it. Not a good idea to name & shame before you talk to ?????. Take a deep breath, calmly approach the situation. You have driven, what? 4,000 km's since fitting? I know what they are going to say. Good luck.

    I live 35ks out of town and my nearest neighbour is 5-6 ks away so things getting nicked while the truck is parked overnight is a pretty remote possibility, The culprit here is just good old fashioned Bad Workmanship.

    With the bullbar in front of the lights how on earth do they get damaged?
    The damage is obvious as the busted fitting shows that the hit was taken from under the light assembly, That possibility is negated by a thumping big lump of steel under the light
