Comprehensive list of bullbar manufacturers

[Perspicacious]

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 (http://www.arb.com.au/resources/pdf/products/LandRoverDefender_DeluxeWinchBar_April2010.pdf)

Dolium (http://www.dolium.com.au/view/page/120/item/LRBBR.html)

TJM (http://www.tjm.com.au/Portals/0/Brochures/landroverR2.pdf)

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

Edited to add:

Landrover themselves;
East Coast Bullbars (ECB);
Ironman

Opposite Lock also do bull bars

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

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. (http://www.ecb.com.au/dhtml/index.htm)



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

That's also my understanding.

Ironman

No. They don't have any LR bars listed...

This mob claim to have one to suit EVERY car
MATADOR Bull Bars & Tow Bars - Bull Bars (http://www.matadorbullbarstowbars.com.au/matador/bullbars.htm)
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 (http://www.customalloy.com.au/gallery/4wd-utes.html)
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 (http://www.oppositelock.com.au/index.php?next_page=product/product_detail.php&product_id=14255&category_id=581)

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 ?

I have come across these whilst looking for a tubular winchbar. I think everyone knows the second one, but the first one was new to me.

Anyone have any actual experience with them?
