I am new to the world of Land Rover (converted from Toyota series 80 and series 70) so please be patient with my ignorance. Looking for a bull bar for my D4, seems other than Land Rover nothing around yet. Can anyone help? Looking for winch provision.

ARB/TJM etc should point you in the right direction.

Hi and welcome.
ARB and ORE have steel bars. These companies have been upgrading the bars for the later model D4s. There has been a history of bars not working well with HSE models due to the parking assist alarms.
I have a winch-able ARB bar on my SE which had no front sensors so Ive never had any trouble.
cheers
Are you after a bar for a MY14 or one of the earlier years. MY14's are still in development but I believe a recent post on here will show up someone who has already gone had a bar fitted to a MY14. For earlier years ARB, OL, ECB all make them for the D4 with or without winch provision.
Read through this thread for MY14

Just got an email from LRA advertising their bull bar again at the reduced rte of $2675 fitted.
Seems , according to the email, that there was such demand they have extended reduced sale.
This could mean know one bought one or they have been in high demand as they say.
Did any one get one fitted.
Before we go on to how it looks. I don't mnd the looks as I reckon the LR is a fairly ugly looking beast any way and I did not buy it because it looks good.
I would be more concerned over how effective they are. So are there any real world experiences of them.

I had a customer's car in on the weekend to have a rear wheel carrier fitted, D4 MY14 with the new Land Rover bull bar. Yes, the bar is shiny and blingy, but I think it suited the white D4 very well. It looks better in the flesh than in pictures.
He also wanted to fit some decent driving lights to the bull bar, but the two holes provided were too close to the grille to allow a larger size light, so we took some measurements and got a mounting bracket laser cut from 3mm solid stainless steel to match the look of the bar. It mounts to the original holes in the bull bar, although we drilled them out to allow a 10mm bolt to be used. The original size of the two holes was approx 9mm for some strange 'Land Rover reasoning' :D
The hole pattern in the bracket is to suit the large Light Force brand lights, but others would be able to utilise the same holes I'm sure.
This was a one off bracket, but if there is any interest I can easily have more cut and offer them in the vendors section as a product.
Cheers, Murray

By the look of those pics the lights sit out in front of the bar,
I thought that was illegal?
Won't they be the first thing to get smashed?
Just asking.
