D4 Landrover Bull Bar - latest news

Mine has this grille at the front so it's not possible to access spool handle through here, so where the solenoid box is fitted without cover plate is right in my circumstances.

Also does this look right, the Runva rope protector plate (I'm sure there's a special name for it) looks like it's sitting a little low, maybe not compatible with the ARB Bar?

It looks like you need an offset fairlead like this

Ha ha ha :) yes, "fairlead" that's the technical word I was looking for.

Where do I source this ❓

Thanks Grentarc :)

Babs
The grill on BB on the RHS of number plate opens up. It pulls open with a plastic latch.
Will that help reach winch lever?

Babs,

My number plate has been mounted on a flippable plate in front of the winch cable...I didnt ask for this...its how it came. Access to the clutch lever is via the little plastic door on the RHS.

In the last photo you can see the rubber strip that I've fixed to the underside of the light to fill in the gap.

Cheers,
Bill

I agree Babs, your number plate seems to be high.
Mine is fitted like D4206, lower and with a hinge, and I don't have a winch.

Babs,
They should have fitted their Hawse Fairlead spacer kit. It repositions the Runva fairlead. I'll post a pic later.

This is what they did to mine. Same winch, different bar though.

There you go, I had no idea that secret door was on the grille to access the winch. Thanks guys :D

Couple of questions

Does the number plate flip hinge come with the bar ❓

And is the Runva supposed to come with an offset fairlead ❓

Flip up Licence Plate kit P/N 3500630 is a separate item to the bar, also comes as part of the optional winch install kit. Most of that kit though is solenoid mount brackets for Warn and other ARB stocked winches.
Runva comes with the fairlead you have. The ARB Hawse Fairlead spacer kit is P/N 3500600. Has a positioning plate, two alloy bosses (that offset the Runva fairlead) and a cover plate.
