Thread: D4 Landrover Bull Bar - latest news

Did you buy it from a dealer? If so, surely they would have access to some fitting instructions?

I just brought a genuine d4 LR bull bar , and I am not sure of the cutting of the old bumper bar I have to do when fitting the genuine bull bar
I was wondering if anyone has any information on this bull bar installation
Please thank you

Could you possibly scan the installation instructions and post them here, or if anyone has a link to the instructions online it might make it easier for someone to offer advise.

Cheers, Murray

Hello guys
No I brought it 2nd hand , it's in great condition,
I have tried calling Land Rover , but with no luck these guys hardly know a thing
About the cars they sell these days ,
I would like it some one has photos of the genuine bull bar fitted to the there d4
And if they could get some photos under the car and see how much of the bumper bar has been cut off

Anyone got a current Topix subscription that could have a look if there are instructions in the accessories fitting area.

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'

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.

Neat job, but almost certain this bracket would be illegal.

Not exactly sure if this is what you are after (i.e. year, model etc..), but nonetheless have a squiz at this. It is a pdf around 8MB, so I have pasted a dropbox link. Hope it works!

Interesting. They've changed the shape of the uprights on the MY14 version. These ones come pre-dented, must have been interfering with the high beam.

Makes it look even uglier.

They seem to have changed it quite a bit to suit the MY14. As you said the uprights have changed profile, it seems to suit the light spread. The fog lights and light washers have also changed, and they appear to also use a specific filler panel (in black) below the headlights rather than using the top of the original bumper in body colour).
