Just my .$02...Nice truck btw. I do like that black and yes the black is hell to keep clean!!!
Yes silly color,i cry at the end of the day at work,i own and operate a 35 tonne excavator

The Bocar is not on the truck in my Avatar. Mine doesn't have uprights on it, and so it is currently in someone elses hands getting 1/4" boxed uprights, and powder coated... Those are really hard to find. Do you have any background on what ever came of Bocar's aftermarket bumper division? Really would like another one, but they haven't been imported since 2007 I believe. Mine is the old style one... I'll post pics when I get the bumper back... Hopefully in the next few weeks!

Hijack over...sorry!

Hey, are those reflectors factory for Australian safety standards or add ons?
