How is the bar going Ken. I want to do this to mine as I am fed up with the ARB plough I have on mine. I prefer the rougher stuff but with a 2" lift and 33" tyres, the ARB bar just slams big time on some of the tight stuff.
Have you fitted a winch or are you planing to? Also, do you have any close up picks of how you have mounted/fitted your bar?

Really appreciate it and let me know if you are willing to make another for some $!!

Aye, Mick

Still hanging on (the bar that is) :eek:

No winch on the front (just a couple of oversize recovery points) in saying that it wouldnt take much to make a cradle for it

the old computer crashed so I couldnt recover any pics Ill get take some and send them on

I can make one if you are keen although freight will be a fair bit as they arent
that light and packing it will be a pita

Hey Ken

Im like MickG in that I have an ARB plough up front and wouldnt mind somethiing like this http://www.rovertym.com/ourprod/bumper/update/newd2.jpg

I was under the assumption however that you cant fit a non airbag compliant bullbar without crash testing it. Am I right?
