Mate, thank you, I am glad it exceeds your expectations.

I hope the bolt holes are slotted as we found,comparing two Puma's,there was at least 12mm difference between the chassis rails at the front of the vehicle.
This became a problem ,fitting a guard that was a different brand,before yours became available.
The comparison was between my son's vehicle & another owned by an AULRO member.

Just my 2 cents worth...

Thank you, i will be doing some research on the puma defender in the next couple of weeks. Thanks, good to know what others have found out.

if you have a TJM bar they should fit with no modification, ARB bar there is some modification to do in the next batch to be made, it will be designed to go over the ARB bar mount on the chassis. it will be specific to the ARB bar only.
Not sure on price yet. will post up some pics in the next week.

once you get measurements for the puma Phil will be interested......

If you want us to measure anything on ours just tell us where and what and we will do it

I'm keen.

Not sure what bullbar mine is, it looks similar to the ARB and TJM, but isn't either of them, as there replacement blinker lights wouldn't fit.

Perhaps it might be best for me to come down and see if one fits. Let me know when you have one ready.

Thanks!

I will post up when i have the next batch ready, happy to meet up anytime for a fitment appraisal with anyone wanting to come down to the Gold Coast, it's always good to meet other enthusiasts.
Beginning of february will be the best time, most of my commitments will be fulfilled by then and new sample models will be ready to try out.
I have a rear hi lift jack mount for rear tyre mount designed and ready for production, it is Land Rover specific for defender, Disco, and Range Rover tyres from series thru to RR Sport an Disco 4.
Hope to have them ready in 3 weeks.
Testing was done and we are happy with the design.
Will post pics of it A.S.A.P.
