You get the fog lights with the D2a bar

Quite a bit of damage to the chassis ensued. The bar was fitted by the distributor. Seems that the mounts were poorly engineered for the D2. The bar itself was fine, he said. I would be having a good, hard look at how one was mounted before I paid my $$$.

Interestingly TJM supply a separate winch cradle that bolts to the chassis behind the crush cans.

I won't be using it, I won't be mounting a winch.

being a D2, you would never use it.

Ha !

I used the winch on the Defender for straightening up fences, pulling cows out of dams, straightening the bullbar on the ex's GU....

Hating life!

ARB do that for the D1, but not the D2.

BTW, it wasn't a crush can failure.

That's crap muppet, particularly when it's so damned cold.
