Thread: D4 Opposite Lock Bullbar - Fitted Today

Do you know if the Opposite Lock Bullbar allows removal of the headlight without needing to remove the Bullbar?

Not sure about this one.
You could ring Opposite Lock in Albany WA and speak to Peter. He would be able to tell you.
Cheers, Craig

Did OL fit the rubber molding under the headlights or did you?

From your photos I notice that there appears to be an aerial tab welded to the top tube on the passenger side. Can you confirm?
If so, then that is one better than the ARB bar, cause mine doesn't have one! And I miss it! The ARB bar only has a predrilled hole for an aerial in each of the bar wings.

Hi Ducks,
Yes, OL fitted the rubber moulding under the headlights as part of the bar.
The bar has 2 aerial tabs welded to the top of the tube on the passenger side (next to each other) and 1 on the drivers side.

Cheers, Craig

ARB still thin the lights can come out on the D3 bar so they wouldn.t have bothered to change the design for the D4. They will come out..........until you install the washer jets.

Never thought to try removing the washer jets.

To remove the washer jets is a bit of a mission...you have to remove the black stone trays under the bar to get access. Same story to adjust the fog lights or to change a blown bulb in the winch bar parking lights or blinkers.

Wasn't what I meant.
Should have said: "..........until they install the washer jets
Halogen lights don't come with the jets so they probably designed it before they thought about the jets.
You are better taking the plastc bit off the back of the lights to remove the lights through the bar.

Had my OL bar fitted last week - still not entirely complete as OL are waiting for more of the rubber inserts for below the headlights. But thought these pics might help augment those Craig provided. Very happy with the bar at this stage. Looks good on the vehicle, but most importantly should offer decent protection from the big hoppers.

Can you tell us how long it took OP to fit the bar?

Also, what spot lights have you fitted?

My fitment was not straightforward, as it seems an incorrect passenger-side under-bar protection plate may have been provided (still being investigated by OL). So, don't judge by my time (about 9 hours, of which at least 3 was wasted on modifying the offending plate) - I think Craig said his took about 4 or 5 hours.

And the lights are Lightforce Genesis 210's - I bought the halogens as I felt the HID's were beyond my price range. One is a spot and the other a spreader. They have a brilliant adjustable mounting system that allows the lights to be installed well back, where they actually get some protection from the bar. I went with Lightforce in part because I'd had them before (a different model) and had a good run with them, and in part because they are so light in weight - and I did not want to add too much to the extra kilos hanging off the front end.
