Thread: Bullbars for D2

Got my new bar a couple of days ago. Thought I would have to wait until Feb. for it but they must have been able to grab one of the ones in the warehouse.... Its fitted up; looks good, now I just need to persuade SWMBO that it needs a winch to complement it....
Chris.

Theres not alot on the aus market that appeals to me for a front bar on the d2. Im a fan of alot of the rovertym stuff but im doubtful of their ADR approval. I took one slightly bent TJM bar n changed it more to my liking.

Was in TJM in Seven Hills (Sydney) on Saturday and while there are nne in stock at the moment they should be in sometime in March.

In regards to the sahara bars is there any reason they won't fit a S2 disco. The listing states S2a only but much prefer the look. Advice.

I have been through this with ARB. The Sahara Bar will fit with a little bit of trimming to the underside of light and grill surrounds, but ARB class the D2a as a different model and therefore have not tested on an earlier D2.

Its all something about the legality side of it apparently.

Just a bit of info from a tjm owner, you may want to put some form of strengthening in the wings (if you havent already), with the top bars removed i suspect that the strength would be reduced some what and the tjm i have found isnt to strong in standard form.

Otherwise, the bar looks great and is tempting me.

yes that thought has crossed my mind and also the the loss of strength from removing the lower skirt may cause some issues BUT i picked it up cheap as chips half pranged so decided that theres no big loss. Just needed something to mount my spotties on really :P and the factory bar was in a bad way so here we are! TJM make a bar similar to my cut up one for jeeps etc so i dont see why they havent done one for the disco...

For those looking I was in ARB Richmond today, and the have a D2 bar (winch) in the showroom for sale. It's the standard type ARB bar, but also has the holes in it for the LR round foglights from the D2a. Apparently it's an ex showroom one, so still brand new, David said he would do a deal on it.

Only downside is it's Bright orange!!! Can always be sprayed again I suppose...
