    Your recommendation for bull bar installer

    In November, I will be looking for a supplier and installer of a bull bar for our D4. While I would prefer someone in Brisbane, Sydney would be second option. Could anyone please advise of a business that has supplied and fitted a bullbar to your D4 (or D3) and with whom you have been happy with.
    Best wishes

    China Bar?

    Which bar your considering might make a diferance Bruce. If ARB then maybe just use one of their several QLD stores?
    Given your status shows China it will be a interesting drive in your D4.

    I have a ARB bar on my D3. Some people grumble about some aspects of them on D3 or D4 but it suits me fine. It was fitted by a melbourne mechanic who took about 1-2 hours I think. The instructions with it would make it a DYI job if your keen. I wasn't

    Thanks Weakestlink. I know the D4 is a great vehicle, but might baulk at the little bit of water between China and OZ.
    Actually we will be back in Aust in November.
    Reading other posts on the value of a bullbar, some seemed to rubbish ARB and fitment (perhaps just some stores), others seemed happy. Comes down to the luck of the draw as to who does the joba nd how good it is. Comments from others regarding a supplier go a long way as far as I am concerned. Word-of-mouth is the best advertising.
    Don't want to even think about DIY. No talent that way.

    Is anyone aware of the options for a bar for a D4 with the surround camera system? ARB said they would fit one but the cameras will only show you what the backside of the bullbar looks like.

    I assume Land Rovers new bar will deal with this?

    If you get an ARB bar definitely get ARB to fit it - mine was fitted by a certain workshop in Melbourne who specialise in Landrovers and I had to get it sorted out by ARB at a later date - it's all well now and I have no grumbles about the bar - good luck with your D4
    cheers

    Opposite Lock in Mitcham Vic said that the cameras were not a problem with their bars when I last checked two weeks ago when talking about options to my HSE with surround cameras...
