Post Pics of Your Winch/Bumper Bar!

[RickD90]

Hey Guys,

Trying to decide on a winch bar, and need some choices... I see many online but its hard to find suppliers in Australia. So, post your winch bar, and non-Winch bars! I'm sure more than just I am interested to see them fitted! (and post where you purchased them too!)

Thanks :)

2013 110, RovaCraft winch bar from Mulgo Expedition Centre and Runva 11XP winch, all fits perfect. Have needed the recovery points a couple of times and they seem fairly solid.

This is a modified rovacraft style one. Seen on front of 130 owned by the bloke who owns PCB rovers

hay Mike,

Na, touch wood. When I posted it up, it was the correct way around.

I see he has a red high mount as well.

Does anyone know if this is a special model? Or why they are RED?

From that pic it just looks like a standard high mount with XP motor and red paint work.

APT winch bar on my 90. Specifically chosen for a reasonable compromise between weight and frontal protection (in my mind, anyway). Otherwise I was considering the Rijidij tube bar. The frontal protection was all that decided it for me.

There was also a little bit (actually a lot) of not wanting yet another ARB on a Defender, and I quite dislike their current design, anyway. I seriously considered a custom bar from a well-respected source in Queensland but the logistics of getting my vehicle there, timing, and my laziness significantly contributed to me taking the easy way out with the APT.

Do consider the number plate mount on this bar depending on where you are. It's technically non-compliant in NSW in its "stock" form as it's not a vertical mount (it's on the downwards-sloping valance panel). You could easily tweak it but I like it where it is until I'm "instructed" otherwise.

The winch (Avenger) and other accessories (light bar and aerial) are pending installation in a few weeks. Will be posted in my build thread once fitted.

Mine is the same but it looks like factory paint work because the stamping of the serial number is done after the red paint is applied.
