I'm not sure, but this looks like the bar you get the corner wings made to suit,, bolt on, bolt off.

It looks like a good product and their other bars look pretty good on other vehicles.

I'm thinking about ditching my old style ARB bar for one....

Found these in Natural circumstances...

I was was wanting a Camel Trophy type bolt on front bar, but it seems extremely difficult to find one, and I don't think they would account for the Puma's extended Grille.

I like the fact of not having much weight up front, and retaining that classic look, although it probably would not hold up from an impact with a Roo.

Anyways, the pros for the ARB would be more solid front protection, but the cons would be unnecessary added weight up front.

Would I have to change springs up front to accommodate the ARB bar, and no i'm not going to run a winch (well not ATM at least).

Other choice is leave it as is, which I dont mind, but am extremely concerned with any impact from the Roo's etc.

Any advice would be appreciated, cheers

Babs.

The Camel Trophy Bullbar was made by Brownchurch in the UK.

They only list the non-winch type now -




They say it will fit with Aircon.

Going by their website they say it will fit with a winch, I'd imagine you would just need a close to standard winch mount bumper. Looks good!

"Nylon coated bush bar, to suit defenders. This product includes spot lamp mounts, and will fit vehicles with a winch such as the Warn 9000i. The bush bar will also fit vehicles with A/C"

Here's the Terrafirma bar I've got on my Defender. Had a couple of roo strikes so far and holding up fine, however if that's the main reason for getting a bar I'd got with an ARB one.

The camel trophy bar on a winch bumper would go well,I've never hit a roo so went with a MM tube bumper and winch mount,I've got a different slant on things as I've always thought avoiding hitting something was better than protection so I've kept the weight down on the TDCi by just going the bumper.
