What was the total price including bar?
Hi Guys
Looking for a Nudge bar for a D4 (that isnt Butt ugly - AKA ECB high level one)
Only looking for very low impact protection as well as a place to mount a couple of lights and a Flag pole. Found an excellent looking one @ Misutonida of Italy however they have no OZ distributor and a single purchase from the very helpful guys there was way too expensive due to freight (over $300 freight).
Anyone know of one available in Oz that may look similar. I know most of the hardened troops out there would say waste of time, but I don't want to wack hundreds of Kgs extra over the front end when my requirements wont be that extreme.
What was the total price including bar?
Don't know how you'll ever put hundreds of Kg up the frontremoving what's necessary to fit a full bar only adds 40kg. A nudge bar will add nearly 20kg to the front.
What are you trying to protect from?
A nudge bar won't protect anything in an animal strike, so if it's just a mounting point you want, I would consider....
Fabricate through grill mounts for driving lights.
Mount sand flag off the roof rail...
Went through this process about 12 months ago Roscoe. Couldn't find anything except for the ECB nudge bar. Even then I don't think it was rated for MY14+. Like you I am just after somewhere to mount some lights.
I have mounted some lights on tabs sticking through the grill. They work OK but I was restricted on the type of light I could get so they don't project too far forward and provide the first point of contact for even a small carpark nudge.
I even designed up a simple hoop design but no local fabrication shop would touch it (liability and all that stuff......).
Apart from shopping centre Bump protection most nudge bars do more damage in a bingle.
They're built marginally thicker than a Coke Can... and pivot directly back and into the major components.
There is no Land Rover premium. That's fantasy....
A nudge bar in Australia has to comply with ADRs just like a Bull Bar does - so require compliance testing, certification etc.
