Thread: Bull bar information

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 asked ARB about the headlight and grill removal issue, and they replied that they never bother about that issue, just that it complies with regulations.

I broke the two lower pins off the grill, so it can be removed for cleaning bugs out of the radiator without removing the bullbar. The leads from the driving lights hold the bottom snug.

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.

I have had the ARB bar for 8 years now and other than one parking light in the bar its self have only replaced both H7 high beams with +90 bulbs now there are +120 H7's out I am thinking of upgrading again.

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.

- radio installs
- bar work
- brake controllers
- Dual battery systems
- lighting
- antennas

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