    Just thought I would post some photographs of the new Defender bar fited today for those who have not seen it. Doesn't look bad at all.

    Sorry that the photos are a bit dark. It was getting late when I took the photos.

    Hi PC3,
    Thanks. I thought about colour matching the bar but decided it would look too white. The black looks O.K. and I can paint it if is scratch it.

    Next job is finishing off the driving light wiring which is 90% done. If I did it again it would take me 1/4 of the time now that I have sussed out where to stuff everything so it looks neat and without drilling extra holes in the bulkhead. Was able to use OE entry points in the bulkhead behind the dash instrument console. The driving lights look better without the IPF covers.

    Next on the must have list a snorkel and BF Goodrich muddies which I just LUUUV to bits. Never had a puncture and work well in all conditions including sand with the right pressures. Had them on my previous five 4X4's. Get good km's from them as well.

    ARB Kylsith now has a 4 week wait to fit gear which is ages. Might have to try one of the other stores in Melbourne if equipment needs to be fitted sooner.

    I saw a spanking new silver Puma Defender the other day with a colour matched bar...looked pretty good...pity he didn't wave back.

    Question

    Would the Land Rover light guard fit with this bullbar?

    Can't say I'm overly attracted either. With all of the edges rounded off, it doesn't seem to suit the Defender - doesn't seem to be "rugged" enough if that makes sense.

    Not too sure I really like it either.

    Didn't have a choice though since "they" couldn't source the old style bar from anywhere so it was the new one or nothing from ARB.

    I have to wait till the 14th July as it is.

    Will also post pics then.

    My first thought was "looks like a troopy" - glad I went with the RovaCraft bar from a looks perspective, but undoubtedly ARB bar will provide more protection.
