    GU Patrol rear bumper - worth anything?

    Hi guys,

    I'm getting a rear bar / wheel carrier installed on my 2007 GU tomorrow, and I'm wondering whether it's worth the hassle of taking the original bar home with me. Are they worth anything? Is there a demand for them? If so, how much should I be able to get for it?

    It's gold coloured and in good nick except for a few scratches that have been touched up.

    Cheers,
    Jaycee

    Thanks threedogs. If it might be worth a few hundred, i might try to sell it.

    I paid $130 delivered for a pristine white rear bar (ebay, from a wrecker). People bang them up when going offroad so there's bound to be a buyer for yours at some stage, in fact I've already taken a fair bit of paint off my second one (and damaged both tail light surrounds). Almost every time I go offroad I push one or both corners up to touch the dummy lights... easily fixed by standing on the bar right under the light, and bouncing - it bends back down straight away

    Obviously I too need a steel rear bar...

    Thanks squalo. Sounds like you should get a steel rear bar too!

    Thanks for the comments guys. I managed to get $250 for it quite quickly, which was a nice little bonus. We might be able to afford some sheepskin seat covers now!
