You wouldn't really buy a new bar because you didn't like the paint job ? Would you ??? ............ Did you use Matt or Flat ??? Give it a coat of clear before it gets mucky then you will be able to clean it if you ever get to go anywhere, a Matt/Flat paint job is a bastard to try and clean and will drive you nuts.......... trust me......................... I had a locust that took about a year before I got rid of the imprint....... This mongrel polished alloy job on the Jeeperific is nearly as bad....
I have found the Woolworths Tyre Shine goop actually does a good job of keeping the plastic bits looking good, doesn't go white or mucky when wet and if you give it a wipe over a few hours later when its sort of set its good and will last a few washes as well............ better than the stuff thats costs a monza for sure, this is about $5 a can........ trest run it on van/jeep out to Innaminka and back and the red stuff just washed off, the black still looked good.........

Seen a few of those bars do a good job flicking skippy but the price of a replacement is ridiculous, wait till you find something to bend it and claim insurance....................by the time you escape suburbia it will be time for another paint job I reckon........
Hang in there mate, I can send you some good QLD red dirt, just hosed under the Jeep and Big Mal, still getting the stuff out..................... if you want fresh stuff will have to wait a couple of weeks till I can get some more.

I like the ECB bars, nice finish as well as looks.................................. 61kg and alloy bars are just as good as steel sometimes better.

New windscreen, never thought of that, I have fixed a couple of chips on mine so far just worried I get a crappy windscreen and the bits won't work....... might give it some serious thought, the old HiLux needs a new one big crack right across but no insurance on it, maybe get a good price on 2 at once...... Might make a phone call get the fella around with his van..................
yeh I have it on my policy as well but have never really thought about it I must admit.
Better than that mushroom on the roof I must say, of course snorkels just mean you don't drown the engine before you fuse the electronics......
My superior River Forder Series III Landy, never got above the floor pan no matter how deep the water, just kept a gentle few revs so the wheels became paddles...no need for snorkel..... so long as the current wasn't too strong we would make it to the other bank, otherwise throw kids out to hang on a kick for extra paddle power.
Be good for when it does get some use on your dirt road runs for sure, like one for the Jeeperific, but Santa won't be in it.....you should make up a mask for it complete with elastic ties.
As compared to yours @Crusty181
