Bull bar for new 110 Defender

Hi there,
is the snorkle a Land Rover one? If so just be aware that it is a raised air intake only.

I used to work at a Land Rover dealer as the accessories fitter and the LR snorkle simply bolts in place of the wing intake. The filter box and any intake tubing are not sealed - indeed the seal between the snorkle and wing wasn't brilliant.

The LR snorkle is not for wading!!

With regards bullbars I fitted one ARB bullbar to a Defender and many to Rangers and loads of OL bullbars to Rangers. In my opinion the ARB's were better in quality and design than the OL bullbars. I fitted a few different makes to Rangers (ARB, OL, TJM, Ironman, ECB and Ford)and ARB was definitely the best design.

I love my 200Tdi 110 but driving the new 110's was a revelation, they drive so well!! I'm very envious.

By the way I found that LR accessories were normally a complete pain to fit compared to aftermarket stuff. I have underbody guards and bodywork chequer plate fitted to my 110 and it was all infinitely easier to fit than genuine LR stuff!

Blimey that all sounds a bit negative doesn't it? If you fancy a bit of good taste bling have a look at the KBX website KBX Upgrades - Land Rover Defender Exterior Upgrades - Replacement Accessories - Land Rover Styling - Facelifts

Only the rear tow pack and MT tyres are Landrover type. The snorkle is being fitted by ARB.

$1055 for the ARB winch bumper is "new" and is being offered as trade price.

Drilling chasis is not my thing . . . Might have to bite another bullet and get it fitted :(

Well after scouring the internet, multiple phone calls and a visit to a variety of 4WD outlets, I've managed to negotiate having the ARB deluxe winch bumper supplied and fitted for $1342.

Fr the sake of a couple of hundred $$$$$ I thought I would leave it to the experts.

Now I just need to have my Defender dealer to have it ready to rock and roll on Wednesday.

Yeee haaaa

Thanks for the info and offers of help guys. Much appreciated.

No doubt we will meet up en route soon.

The front of my 90 dropped 12mm when i fitted my bar & winch (old style ARB & Warn high mount). Will be changing to 130 springs in the front down the track to return to the former ride height. ;)
