I also like having welded wings and light protection. Anyone who is considering these xrox bars should consider these things I reckon and check out the tjm in the flesh. Cheers
Has anyone been able to go in to an OL, and purchase an XROX bar for the D2? Or will they wait until Aug 17 before they list the Disco2 bar as available?Quote:

I orderd one through OL in Ballarat last week, they contacted outback accessories direct and confirmed the bar was available. I posted all these details earlier in this thread, along with the deal being offered and the wait time of approx 4 weeks.

Good news, I will be ringing up the local OL tomorrow then. Will let you all know how it goes.
I like these bars- I do...
But do none of you go bush very often?
These will not protect in an animal strike.
And that washer guard is Naf (being polite) it defeats the approach angle and offroad one of you is going to smack it hard!!!!!
Something with that bottom design and decent upper protection across the entire frontal area would be great and I think could be made to look good too.
50% deposit tomorrow, 3 week delivery.
I will definitely get a smaller washer tank and relocate it inside the engine bay it's just in the way otherwise.
I go bush quite often mate, I haven't had a bull bar until now so it's better than nothing I suppose :D
And thats no issue... Like I said - I like the look... And your ride, your choice.Quote:

My comment re Increased protection is not so much "bush" trips, but higher speed touring type runs, where animal strike protection is premium.
Taking anything smaller than a tiny Euro will not go well...
AND... for those not versed in what happens - striking something (animal) on the corners where the front tyres are much more exposed with these style bars can get very interesting.. The steering effect of the strike going higher on the tyre can seriously throw the vehicle at speed.
