Thread: Bull bar information

Hi Stuart,
Tim from Autospark Osbourne Park WA has them made up,
Mine was a little different, as I have the LIGHTFORCE 215LED's
They weigh nearly 7 kilos for the pair, So Tim reinforced his normal bracket and put in some extra supports due to the extra weight, nice job and would recommend them, but my bumper got some extra cuts and abrasions from the Harvey weekend, so all that good work will be removed if I get a new bar

I haven't work out how too post 2 x photos

Very neat. I'm sure someone here will be keen to take the mount off your hands!
I think polished alloy looks pretty schmick on white

Black ARB Bar ..............



White Opposite Lock Bar ...................



I suppose it's all a matter of personal taste. I prefer the black bar on a Fuji White D4, but I have seen some with white bars that also look good. The trick with the white bar is to leave all the lower panels on the bar (bash plates etc) painted black, as LandyAndy has done with his. Looks much better than an all white bar.

The only "polished alloy" bar I've seen on a D4 is the OEM one from Land Rover. I was parked next to a D4 with one of these fitted in Perth earlier this week and had the opportunity to compare side-by-side. I would never even consider one of these bars. If you have already damaged your OEM plastic bumper when off-roading, the chances are that you would have done even more damage to the vehicle in the same situation if you had the OEM bar installed on your car. The main "channel" of this bar sits in front of your OEM plastic bumper bar (does not replace the bumper bar as both the ARB and OL bars do) - which has a negative effect on your approach angle. Also, the OEM bar is mounted far too close to the bodywork for my liking - any movement in the bar at all is likely to result in some expensive body repairs. Apart from the above, I do not believe that the OEM alloy bar would be anywhere near as strong as the ARB / OL steel bars.

But as said earlier - it's all a matter of personal preference.

Since everyone tells me my 2009 RRS is basically a D4 will any of these bullbars fit it

Yes - a few have done it. Picture below is ARB bar (same as on my D4) fitted to a RR Sport. Haven't seen any of the OL bar fitted to a Sport, but don't imagine that there would be any problem with it.
