Thread: Bull Bar Fitting + Lights Required

Thanks Guys for the replies.

LRA - is that in Lilydale? don't they normally do 4Wd water tanks? Would they fit Bull bars? sorry for the questions just want to know I am heading in the right direction.

The lights I would assume are simple, it's the mounting that is the challenge, I have no skillset whatsoever when it comes to that sort of thing. I am thinking I can get the lights from SuperCheap, brackets don't know.

Would love to see some photos of others Sahara bars with the lights and mounts, or even hear of anyone that has had to fit or replace them llike myself.

Cheers
JB.

I thought the D2 Sahara bar took the "factory" 03 --> foglights from the standard facelift vehicles.

the factory lamps retail around £55 each, so $110 each to you guys ?

The sahara bar i sold to disco Dan i brought second hand and it had a winch fitted already.

I took it ARB Richmond and dealt with Callum, he also sold me my snorkel (at another time), and they fitted the sahara bar for $100 and then wired up the winch for an extra $100.
There was never any talk over "speaking to the boss", mind you i had supplied the car to them with no grille fitted and then once i got the car back home i cut the grill to suit myself.

I had my new bar fitted by Andrew @ LRA in thomastown. THese guys ROCK!!! and are always more than happy to help. And also like other workshops/service centres aren't afraid to try something for the first time.

any questions just ask me

Trying to get these from a wreckers, is impossible, just wanting to understand whether there is an aftermarket option available as $500 for two lights that are the size of two small roof downlights, is rediculous.

Hi JB,
I had my 01my D2 fitted with an ARB bar very early on, I think i was the first but not quite sure.
I had originally got ARB to fit it as they were also curious to see if it would fit...funnily enough it does!
With some slight mod's it is very easy.
I had to remove the bar on 2 occassions to fit 1.Winch & then 2. to rewire winch..
It is a simple fit, basically 2 bolts in the chassis horizontally & 1 vertically to stop bar rotation. Best thing to do as i think someone has said is to buy bigger diameter bolts, this helps alot.

WRT the fog lights, I actually bought brand new Range Rover(this was pre D3/Sport) fog lights, Funnily enough they are heaps cheaper new & the wiring you will have to make your own connections anyway. SO this was just a bolt in job & a few connections.

If u have any further questions just let me know

Cheers

Thanks Adam, information very helpful, it was Callum who I spoke to.

Just out of interest when did you have yours fitted?

Thanks

Cheers Pete, great info.

I was starting to head down the path of the fog lights from an 03 onwards, now just need to undertsand brackets etc and how they fit into the bar.

By chance would you know the best place to get them?

Tried second hand, no luck, have spoken to a couple of LR parts places no luck either. Would'nt think they are that rare?

The Range Rover spot lights are harder to find! I tried to get a set last week & could not find a set in all the places i rang...we needed one for a 2nd hand Rangie in the yard. Could get plenty of D2a/D3/Spt version but none for a RR. You may have to go down the path of the D2a/D3/Spt version, I know Phil at Triumph rover spares in Adelaide had some but we needed a specific for the RR.

Try ringing around & see who offers the best price.

Cheers

Hi Pete,
You mention the 1 vertical bolt, when I put the bar on I did not install this vertical bolt only the horizontal as there were only holes for horizontal?

Did you drill into the chasis before putting the crash cans on? We double checked it all and it has fitted up fine except for the vertcle bolts.

Any help appreciated.

Cheers
JB.
