    Comprehensive list of bullbar manufacturers

    I would like to build a list of all Australian manufacturers of bullbars for the Defender. There are plenty in the UK but shipping costs are prohibitive.

    So far I have:

    ARB

    Dolium

    TJM

    There must be other manufacturers. If you know of one, please list it.

    Edited to add:

    Les Richmond Automotive

    Landrover Tuning

    Er, I could stand corrected, but I asked East Coast and they didn't make a bar for a Deefer, only Discos?

    East Coast Bullbars do not make a bar for the Defender.

    Correct me if I am wrong, but I believe that Opposite Lock use the Dolium bar.

    Whoever makes the bar that came with the TD5 Extreme defenders (see pic below). I tried to buy replacement light lenses and it is definitely not an ARB or TJM bar and I'm pretty sure it is made by Dolium either. I'm not sure where Landrover got them from.

    correct
    East Coast Bullbars. Manufacturers of the World's Best Alloy Bullbar.

    Correct me if I am wrong, but I believe that Opposite Lock use the Dolium bar.
    That's also my understanding.
    It's not broken. It's "Carbon Neutral".

    This mob claim to have one to suit EVERY car
    MATADOR Bull Bars & Tow Bars - Bull Bars
    I'm cynical trhough.


    This mob in Brisbane do Custom bars
    4x4 Bullbars and Nudge Bars for 4WDs and Utes - Custom Alloy - Manufacturing Australian Products
    though whether they do / have done / will do a Defender bar - you'd have to ring them.

    In short unless you get someone to fabricate one for you, the list in post 1 is pretty much it !

    On the Opposite Lock site,
    Defender Steel Winch Bullbar at Opposite Lock Australia
    it says
    Defender Steel Winch BullbarProduct Code:LRBBRRRP: $1,295.00

    Land Rover Defender Steel Winchbar
    Designed to minimise the turning circle by ensuring the outer corners of the bullbar are as close to the vehicle as practical - whilst still ensuring good protection in the event of a solid impact
    Includes 2 x driving light tabs, a radio aerial tab, jacking points and a winch mounting platform capable of accepting most low mount electric winches to 10,000lbs
    Also includes tabs to mount the optional steel cable brush guards - refer Part No: LRBBWD
    Black powder coat finish.


    Product specification

    Pictures supplied by::Dolium
    Pictures supplied by Dolium.. so that answers that question.

    There are plenty of options out there for Discovery bars, spoilt buggers, but if anyone is in the industry there is a business opportunity for you ! Are you listening Hard Range Australia ?
