D4 Bullbar

No gap to speak of with the rubber spacer on our OL bullbar, you can see the spacer in the second pic.http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v2...r/DSC00312.jpg

Looks like you do plenty of ruff roads. My fitters (Opposite Lock) told that there was a 20 mm gap because they had had damage to the lights and flares from the movement of the bar on corrugated roads. They have also cut my flares so that the bottom edge is not parallel to the bar. Looks pretty suss to me.

Yes we do and quite a bit of rough off road tracks, like our bar on the D2, the bar hardly moves at all, I think it may be the store that has fitted yours, which is dissapointing, given the great service we have had from Gordon at the OL shop at Kogarah in Sydney (he's a Land Rover enthusiast though)

The gap is about 10mm(I can fit my finger in there) with the rubber spacer, which is good, the bar would have to move quite a lot to hit the light if it did move.

Mine is about the same Baz.
Saw Jools bar the other day. The gaps are way too big.
Had my bar fitted at the same OL outlet too.

Cheers, Craig

Looking at the gap, it is different from side to side and the bar is angled too, very odd, maybe when he takes it back he will get it sorted.

and what "offset" do those rims have....lookin' good :)

BMW X5 Alloys 17 x 7.5 with Kumho LT265/70/17 KL78 ATs, 46mm back space which gives 11mm wider offset, centre hole is axactly the same at 72.5.

Just dropped off my D4 at Lance Dixon for service. Spotted D4 with ARB bar. The bar is mounted much higher than mine and is in fact touching the centre grill. Also the flares looked pretty average where they had been cut. I am sure that there would be enough movement on ruff roads for the bar to do damage to the grill. Having said that everything was level.. better than mine.
