Thread: D4 Bull Bar from ECB

Looks pretty chunky compared to the ARB. But ECB will beat ARB to getting it to market.

Very chunky... would look better without the top bars... do they do bull bars with the top bit?

I would like a bull bar on my D4, but i want it to look like a bumper, but tough.

Whoo-hoo, at last a manufacturer's got the friggin ball rolling.

It looks like either cameras or front parking sensors on one of the bars. Does anyone know how/if these guys have designed the bar for the surround cameras???

dang that looks good, nice one!

I like the way they don't have to cut the wheel arch flares as they do with the ARB one.......

That bar looks disgusting ... There, someone had to say it!

The angled tubes up front ruin the lines of the factory grill...
The bottom plate is huge, wings arent swept up..
That thing is going to hit everything you try to get over.. No pushing a corner up to climb something.

Gussets in outer corners looks cheap and nasty...

Knock in the corner surely going to smash the flares off...

Whomever is the designer obviously has no passion, nor cares for the lines of the vehicle its due to fit...

Yes, the one pictured has front sensors and surround camera fitted. I am told they will all have these holes on all bars and will have a grommet if you don't need them.
The production model may be slightly different, this was a pre-production version.
It did look better in the flesh than in the photos. The downside is it will not improve your approach angle at all and the winch will sit very low.

I wonder why there is a rail across the centre where lights mount.

Tombie,

I agree, not so sure i would go so far as disgusting, however;

it looks very heavy and square and changes the front end view significantly, does not appear to increase front angles and actually looks like it might reduce angles;

As noted, one hit and those beautiful color matched front flares would be gone.

Whilst it is great that someone is getting on and trying to do a bar for the D4 this is not one I would choose, even for the D3.

Hopefully they can get some constructive feedback and lighten the look and feel up, increase the approach angles and reconsider the sides as retaining the flares might not be the best approach.
