Popular Post alex g 733 Posted November 27, 2016 Popular Post Share Posted November 27, 2016 Put my moose bumper on for winter and added some new mud flaps. Not any moose around here to avoid but lots of deer. 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

6v71 49 Posted November 28, 2016 Share Posted November 28, 2016 No moose in Canada? What happened? I lived in Anchorage AK for 9 years and there were moose everywhere. Cool bumper, looks good. That would work good in PA as well. Damn deer everywhere down here. All running crazy too, now that hunting season just opened. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Vladislav 3,012 Posted November 28, 2016 Share Posted November 28, 2016 I always thought those were designed specially for kango-roo's. Local authoritys went crazy about such stuff recently. Give fines left and right. Actually only rigs with special marks made in their papers in earlier years which indicate approved installation of such bumpers go easy. Everybody else are outlaws.

What about a bull bar that was made and or supplied by Mack Australia then it would be just be a factory option Vlad ???? Paul 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Paul Paul, Cool bar, and sure the truck it is on! As for factory options the same thing goes on overhere with Mercedes-G's I'm too familiar with. The bars they have were installed at the factory (local folks call them neither way but kango-roo-bumpers)). On the other hand local technical reglament (a kind of DOT) requires nothing off a front bumper to the outside. Many folks were fined recently being ordered to remove the bars in a month following an inspection pass to determine they really have it done. Otherwise they would get a ban for the vehicle's registry. Those Mercedes owners have to request an official dealer to get a paper their vehicles have the factory equipment. Some of them get luck in the end. Along with big headach during the deal. Many others rest with headach only. Just a kind of local BS. Plenty of such stuff overhere. 1 Quote Никогда не бывает слишком много грузовиков! leversole 11.2012 Link to post Share on other sites
J Peeler 8 Posted February 10, 2017 Share Posted February 10, 2017 Do you know where or if you can still buy those bumpers I just put a new hood on my r model about 6 months ago I hit a deer last week busted hood and bent the bumper I'm tired of buying bumpers Quote Link to post Share on other sites
alex g 733 Posted February 10, 2017 Author Share Posted February 10, 2017 My bumper is made by Ali-arc. I bought it used I think it actually came off a freightliner. I called Ali-arc they said they never made a bumper for a R model I was hoping I could buy mounting hardware. I had a local guy fab the brackets up for me. I assume you'll gave to go same route.Sent from my SM-G386W using Tapatalk Quote Link to post Share on other sites

alex g 733 Posted December 17, 2018 Author Share Posted December 17, 2018 I don't have this bumper anymore so I can't take a pic but if you look on either side of the license plate there are two bolts. Take them out and behind them is the hinge to tilt the bumper. I had hinges built that bolted to frame where original bumper bolted and installed moose bumper to them. Hopefully this helps Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Brocky 1,235 Posted December 17, 2018 Share Posted December 17, 2018 Those 2 bolts have an eye in the head of them so if you cannot turn them by hand you can use a bar in them. Quote Brocky Link to post Share on other sites
