    Never considered a bull bar before but looking at this photo it might be useful. There we were heading down the main road and we met these.
    Tough looking beasts. Then there's the sheep....

    I guess most of the current aluminium bull bars are probably weak, but not all bars were made equal

    Mal Story of Maxidrive use to make aluminium bull bars for RRC and Land Rovers that were/are quiet strong. With many many kms of testing in true Oz bush and outback, including many roo strikes among other impacts.

    I tried finding a pic on the web, but cant. If any one has a pic, post it up.

    I'm looking at an ARB deluxe winch bar for my new - one month old - Defender. I want to fit the big Lightforce lights onto it. In my experience they are the best. But ARB say they won't fit. Does anyone have any recommendations for making them for or for any lights that give comparable performance.


    Have a look at my Cibie Super Oscar post as an option, also follow the supplier thread in same.

    APT are going to check the big lights will fit their modded bar, no pics yet. Looking seriously at APT, because I can an integrated bar, steering guard, recovery points, and made in Brissie.

    Having said that anyone using APT?

    Cheers

    By all means get a Defender. If you get a good one, you'll be happy. If you get a bad one, you'll become a philosopher.

    I had the ARB bar fitted to my MY13 110 Defender when I bought the vehicle,
    If you live in the country a steel bull bar is a must, I hit three roos last year in my other 4x4 that has a ARB bull bar and there was zero damage.
    Last year I counted 14 fresh dead roos on the morning commute to work, so the chance of a roos strike out my way is high.

    With the Defender I fitted Terra firma TF018 front springs as the front end started to sag with the standard springs, after I fitted the winch,
    the standard springs are a progressive coils spring with small windings at the top and longer windings thus the smaller windings take up the small bumps and the longer windings are for larger bumps and heavier loads, before I changed the front speings the smaller winding coild were fully compressed.
