Thread: D4 Landrover Bull Bar - latest news

It's too far back now, but I think the Mannell guys told me the sensors were not the issue. I don't know if they had to modify or if the bar was ready for the sensors. Giles will be more than happy to talk to you. After a lot of following up on ARB, the guys fitted it for the originally quoted cost - no drama.

Hey drowell
Is that the only place you can fit the winch solenoid box with that ARB bar

Cheers Ken

Not sure. I'd like to have it hidden away, but that's where they put it. Something to ponder.

A question for drowell.
Was there a option to have the Radiio Aerial mounted fitted to the Top Bar instead of down low?

I have also had a look at the OL Bull Bar. Is does not look to bad and comes with 3 high Radio Aerial mounts. 2 on the Left and 1 on the Right. I would say they are readys for Flags if required for out west. It is also standard with Winch Mounts if that is a requirement. I asked about cover plates if a winch was not required and OL said they would find out for me and do something if I purchased the Bull Bar.
I shall see, I am not planning to purchase one for a few months yet.

No there are two low mounts - one either side.

As a matter of interest for all those bling loving RRS owners out there (& dare I say LR3 and 4 even though they don't like to think of them as RRS's)

For what it's worth I rang the ARB engineers when the bar was first released and they said it couldn't be fitted to HSEs or to V8s because the engine configuration was different to other D4 models - according to them it had something to do with the placement or size of the radiator. Didn't make sense to me given that you can get the same diesel donk in TDVs and SEs but the ARB dealer also wouldn't try and make it fit because of compliance issues - he told he his backside was on the line if he fitted a bar to a vehicle that the manufacturer (ARB ) said it could not be fitted to.

Unfortunately there is no bullbar specifically made for the RRS - to fit the D3 bar modifications are required to be made to the bar - also the bar is not complianced for the RRS so is illegal to fit and could cause problems with insurance claims in an accident.

Due to the similarity in the front end of RRS and D3 I cannot understand why ARB did not go for compliance for both vehicles.

Here is another brand on the RRS.
