Hi All,
Ive been looking for new front bar for my county for a while now and really like the Equip/Scorpion style A bars but they cost a absolute fortune, Does anyone know if theres a Australian company making anything similar?

Thanks,

Mick.

I do know that rovercraft stock them as they kept trying to sell me one even though i said its not what i wanted......and i think theirs would be cheaper than scorpion anyway

Couple of years ago at the Melbourne 4WD show was a stand which have couple of Discos with suspension done up. This people were selling suspension for Land Rovers and also have front bars very simmilar to the Scorpions but much cheaper.
I cannot recall the name of the business, but was from Melbourne :(

Probably "Equipe" and you will pay the earth for there gear!...its good but its pricey and I would imagine knowing what some of their suspension costs you will pay more than what scorpion are asking for a winch bar

Thought the same thing so I decided to make one.

Still in the design phase, but this is what I got (http://www.aulro.com/afvb/90-110-130-defender-county/74217-custom-high-mount-winch-bar-defender-ideas-2.html) so far.

Still haven't costed it, but with galvanising and potentially powdercoating afterwards, I don't think it will be that cheap either.

Cal415,

If only I had been on the forum I just sold my scoripon bar with warn winch $900 the lot. I'm going back the old alloy cow catcher bar and diff locks.

Bugger sounds like it would have been a good buy
