Overriders
Is it possible to get to the mounting bolts without removing the bumper? i.e. can it be done through the headlamp pod?

Re: Overriders
I did mine without bumper removal, but I cant remember if I went from underneath or through the pod inspection hole
Nothing is fool proof. Fools are clever!

Re: Overriders
Thanks Stu. As long as I know the bumper doesn't have to come off, I can try to find a way to do it.

Re: Overriders
Update for reference as I have just done mine.
Yes they can be done without bumper removal. Accessed from underneath not the headlight pod.
I had my radiator removed along with the upper and lower radiator shroud. The lower shroud would definitely require removing, not sure about the upper and the rad.
