Title: TJ plastic front bumper end caps
Post by: Anonymous on July 14, 2005, 08:59:52 AM
Can anyone confirm if the removal of these would lead to MOT failure?

Never had any endcaps on my CJ and it's been ok....

......always wondered myself if it might be an issue....

Had mine off for last years and no problem.... this years is not far away.... have them in the shed if I do need them.... Front and rears off...

Saw one of these Landy rebuild trialer beasts the other day with a bumper about 12" long, and mudguards that did not come down the front at all and it was taxed and tested..... Will see if I can find pics later
