    This bull bar

    G'day all,

    Anyone know if you can source the pictured bull bars new, or would they be wreckers only now?
    Cheers

    There is one for sale on facebook - Land Rover Owners Club Australia group - Land Rover Owners Club Australia public group | Facebook. It's similar to the picture but is missing the smaller bars. It's in Devon Meadows in Vic. They want $100.

    Hopefully they have all been turned into scrap metal, Which is Exactly where they belong.
    Maybe JLR has recycled them and have modified them as their new defender "bull bars"

    Hi Trickychip
    I've recently spent yonks sourcing info about bars for Discos. I think you'll find the answer to your question is no.
    My advice, keep your eyes peeled on gumtree or one of those types...This bull bar
    I recently got lucky and found a factory nudge bar for a D2 at a bloody rippa price.
    Patience and luck. This bull bar

    It looks like the factory brushbar. I have a couple hanging up in my shed. Common as muck secondhand as no-one seems to want them.

    They the factory bar - at the time they were the only ones compatible with Disco air bags. Indeed these were one of the first airbag compatible bars made.

    And they fold back into the bonnet with relatively light taps, or at just light enough not to trigger the air bags on a D2.

    There are much better/stronger alternatives
