APT Front Guard and ARB Bull Bar

[rhinosm]

I have a 21016 D4 with ARB Bull Bar
I've recently fitted the APT transmission and sump guards.
I'm keen to also fit the front guard but unfortunately it doesn't fit with ARB Bull Bar.
Has anyone found a work around or another product?
Maybe I get the APT front guard and modify.
Keen to know if anyone else has confronted this dilemma.

I spoke to Ben at APT about doing a front guard for my D3 with an ABR bullbar. I didn't end up doing it but he said he could profile one to fit but would need the vehicle. So if you are in the Brisbane area that would be an option. I wonder if could profile one if he had the front guard for the ARB bar?

I've spoken, emailed him a few times also.
I think I'll buy the standard one and modify.
He's done the bulk of the work, I'll add a section to marry up with BB.
Good lockdown project.
I'll post a photo.

Something that does intrigues me about APT design is, the front guard goes under the Sump guard.
Meaning the sump guard could catch sand or dirt, or worse, hook on rocks.
Rather than being on top of Sump guard so things slide over.

Start with a D3 front guard.

Hi rhinosm,

Did you get this done? I have the same issue - currently I have the APT front guard fitted, and have booked in with ARB to have their bar fitted next month.

Is the issue that the ARB bar won't fit with the APT front guard in place? I'm guessing the APT guard fouls the ARB bar somehow? What's required to make it fit?

I would sure like to have both.

Thanks.

APT front guard May clash a bit. Isn’t needed though with ARB bar.
