    Bullbar and Winch Question

    I am looking at getting a bar on my D3 however one of the limitations I have is space in the garage particularly length which is already tight with the standard plastic bumper.

    So can anyone give me an idea if a bar might extend further than the standard set up.

    I was also thinking of a winch and been doing a bit of reading up on a Tigerz 11 however read a comment that they are a long winch body wise so wondering if anyone has fitted one, which bar make has it been installed in?

    Thanks for any assistance.

    George

    I recently put a Tigerz11 12000lb winch in a Opposite Lock winch bar. Fits OK width wise. I haven't got measurements for the extra length of the winch bar compared to the standard bumper though.

    Definitely further out. This can even be seen from the pics of the bullbars on the D3/D4. I have an OL bar going on shortly ( i hope ) and will be able to give comparison measurements if you can wait that long. At a guess I would say the bullbar will add 200-250mm to the length of the vehicle.
    D4 2.7litre

    My OL bar adds another 250mm from bottom of grill.

    I have a D4 with an OL bar and winch. It is definitely more prominent but not by as much as l thought. From memory when l did the comparison it was approximately 120 mm longer.

    Regards Trif.
