ARB most certainly have not sorted the front sensor issue. Mine still don't work properly after 3 or 4 ARB attempts
at fixing them, and three replacements due to breakage caused during.
Given the rear sensors in my kaymar work fine (fitted by ARB at the same time) I can only blame the bullbar design, specifically the structure accomodating the sensors.
Has anyone from the Geelong area had an OL bull bar fitted? If so, which OL dealer fitted it and we're you happy with the job? Also do front park sensors work without an issue? Cheers
I have the Ol bar, and while the headlight assy cannot be removed completely without tilting the bar forward, the headlight assy's come out easy, and rest on the flat of the bullbar. With the headlights half out, all of the globes/filaments can be accessed. The grille comes completely out without any interference from the bullbar.Quote:

My grill is easily removed and is still complete.
To me any bar is a no brainer but I prefer steel and I had mine colour coded to the car.

I took the plunge and have had a colour matched Opposite Lock bar fitted. They were offering a deal with free driving lights. The bar has been installed and the sensors, cameras work perfectly. The driving lights will be installed tomorrow along with an awning for my Front Runner roof rack.
Almost ready for a trip to cross the Simpson in two weeks.
Might see you there we are leaving Alice around the 25th or 24th
If you get an Opposite Lock bar, tell them you don't want 20mm plus clearance for the flares.

I'm having discussions with my installer now. They think it is OK and is what is specified. I think it is ****.
What did installers do for the inner guards for those who have an OL bar fitted?
Mine has one cable tie.

I also think this is ****ty.
Just for laughs here are the photos of my Kaymar rear bar install.

I also seem to be missing the brackets for underneath the exhausts to the rear bar can anyone confirm they are still there on the D4?
That is one slack installation Geedublya! I thought with the Kaymar at least, that it was engineered to fit well with the body panels - looking at this vid sure shows a better result can be expected:

As for the front bar, there's no excuse for people to treat your vehicle in such a cavalier fashion - they really don't give a stuff.
I really have a hard time trusting that people will do a good job and try their best to do work they can be proud of - too rare these days that it actually would happen.
I've often thought we should all team together to do these installations for each other - many hands and all that stuff. Work done by people who care.

20mm plus is crazy....You will need about 10mm. Chassis bounce on corrugations will see the flair hit the bar.Quote:

Yeah been there myself. After 4 revisits to OL here in Melb gave up, bit the bullet ordered two new flares and had my panel beater refit the bar and new flares ( which he cut perfectly) but cost me $600 extra..
Mine looks OK now.
Haven't been back to OL again and never will.
