Well I'm so excited and barred up at last.:D :D :D :D

I managed to get hold of a second hand TJM Alloy bullbar with 2 Cibie Oscar driving lights. It was fitted on Thursday and the lights wired yesterday. I'm off for a little drive tonight to line up the lights. I gave them a brief turn on last night and they are so bright they could be a hazard to shipping on the east coast of Australia.:cool:

I now have a Discovery II front bar sitting in a garage so if any one wants it or knows someone who does PM me. One of the headlight washer units was broken but the other is ok.

Cheers.

Jack

BTW the bar is in Penrith in Sydney's west.

I haven't changed bullbars, the original plastic front bumper bar was replaced with the TJM bullbar.

What really surprised me was just how heavy the original plastic unit is, the alloy bar is only heavier by a couple of kilos and that's with the driving lights on it.

Great idea - thanks

Maybe an area could be set up where we could place any unwanted gear to dispose of on display - just a thought

things always move quicker with a price on them.....eg. put a $20 tag on it and watch how fast it will go.....

I'll give a tentative yes but my son's 20th birthday is that weekend so my movements will depend on what he wants to do, family wise.

But I'll be at the Expo on the 23rd July. I know some blokes say a Land Rover isn't a Land Rover unless it's dirty but I am going to shine my Discovery so bright you'll need sunnies to look at it. :cool:

Speaking of the Expo - who is helping to set things up? I'll only be up the road at Sth Penrith so if you need a hand setting up just PM me.

Cheers
