They were probably marked in their original position prior to rotation, and then inverted on the rims so as to keep the rolling direction the same as before (correct way to do it).

As for the roller on the rear bumper .... it might help but I doubt that it would serve that much purpose .... might be easier to drag yourself off an overhang snag, but at the same time, also another protrusion to lessen the departure angle. :think:
When your road comes to an end ...... you need a HILUX!.

Agreed Andy, unless you are being hung up on a speedbump at your favourite shopping mall where the surfave is really smooth, the roller wont really work on rought rocks/sand/clay or mud. Sliding over rough obstacles offers a lot less resistance where the roller can easily get snagged. :twisted: :twisted: :twisted:
