    Winch Bar with front cameras in D4

    Hi All,

    Firstly great to be part of this well run forum. I have so far installed Redarc remote head to my D4 after ARB stuffed it up. Many thanks to the members on this forum.
    Was wondering if anybody has a steel winch bar which fits new front surround cameras. Two cameras are in the D4 2012 front bumper bar.

    Spoke to ARB and reply is they dont drill holes in their bar to cater for this.
    1. Has anybody installed a steel Winch Bullbar with cameras, as i dont want an alloy bar for the D4

    2. How much did they pay for such a bar.

    Thanks in advance Rowan

    Funny you should ask this, I've been thinking about this myself after a discussion with the local ARB store this week. I've just ordered the cameras and am starting to think I'll have wasted my money if I put a bar on.

    Where exactly are the cameras mounted?

    Cheers,
    Jon

    Thats my question.. Where are the cameras mounted?

    And I would find a way and just drill the bar myself or fabricate a mount some how (once you send pics of where the cameras are I will know more)...

    Cheers

    Wouldnt take long at all to make the holes or mounts and fit them in the bar

    Remember when you're mounting the cameras, it's best if you can see part of the car when viewing the picture from the camera. Otherwise you'll just drive into things

    was a web image, 2 small openings on the front bar around inline with the edges of the grill, but in the lower section.

    Hi Jon
    Cameras are in bumper either side of number plate bracket
    I will upload a photo soon as I can work it out

    The cameras are about same size as the front sensors but the box behind looks like it won't fit into the ARB bar because of the limited space behind the bar and it's tight curve. OL has just quoted to say they can do it. But I have not heard what quality their bar is. Does anyone know or have one......?
    Concern there's no room for a winch
