For the price TBA with Alex200 I would get a winch bumper, stronger and with a winch fitted universal.

I cured the engine death rattle at 2500 rpm ....... The egr valve I zip tied to the intercooler pipe had come loose and was hitting the engine . Also think I've got to bottom of my oil pressure problem with the electric gauge ......drum roll .......it works fine with the lights on , don't know why yet as its earthed to the body and live from the lighter feed , confused .com here
And it cost nothing so I was allowed to fix it 😄

Finally decided to zip tie the new vac acumalator under the bonnet rather than the chassis and sorted out the low readings from the oil pressure gauge , turns out I've got a bad earth behind the dash that was causing it to read 10 psi low .
Nearly all sorted for a bit of gentle off-roading next weekend

Washed kirton and mid Wales off the truck, works jet wash turned up to max heat, stripped nearly all the old wax oil off, give it another go next week and maybe start red oxide paint before winter.

I am going to try a section and see how it lasts over the winter.
The screwfix red is what I have, the only other stuff I may try is raptor on the chassis.

Just back to a basic clean and scrape and wire brush, red ox is a great paint that covers and protects as a primer. Serious preparation is not necessary.
