Thread: RRS bullbar

Someone's doing it....

Yes that is Zilche's RRS - there are some threads on it. Done by some OL dealers without the approval of Head Office.

i would just say there seems a large difference in opinion between the dealerships and the OL mothership.. OL dealerships in both Sydney and Qld
state it is ADR and SRS compliant for the chassis it is fitted to.. they also state it would be an offence and they would be open to prosecution if they carried out an illegal modification to my (anyones) vehicle, hence their level of surety

That said i think GGHaggis has a better approach in terms of A bar and winch which retains the Sports classic line.. so maybe i might change the appearance again .. when i get my next bonus / tax cheque of course

Sorry guys still getting use to the site
Didn't go to the second page until now
Yes I spoke to Sydney and was told that unless their bars were ADR approved they would not sell any bars
Without numbers they would not be interested in building bars
I would have though D4 and RRS would collectively be enough interest and assuming the safety devices and chassis are the same on both that one bar perhaps with slight side aesthetic changes would prompt ARB into action for both types
The older models become the more likely they will be tempted off-road means the L 320 should be on their radar more now than before

As I have said before - it doesn't matter what dealers, franchises or state managers say - it was it was the maker and importer says and that is Opposite Lock Australia - not one of there subordinate organisations.

Here is the link to Opposite Lock Australia Contact page Contact us

Send them a query as I did and see what they have to say.

I hope their responses to me, as I have previously published, are wrong as I would love to get one of their bars fitted but unless the manufacturer and importer can provide the relevant compliance information then I am not prepared to have them fitted.

The implication from your email is that i have a possible route to ask OL to a). remove all mods, b). reinstall all original parts, c). refund all OL charges (Bar/Winch/Lights) if my vehicle is now deemed illegal and their dealerships knowingly supplied and made modifications to that vehicle. that may be quite an interesting exercise.. i will see what they say.. and let you know

Why take that course ? You have what you want. As we have seen with a lot of similar issues on vehicles other than LR. If you push hard enough, you will get what you want, and no one else will be able to fit the product to their vehicle. Sometimes it is better to have shades of grey rather than black & white.

Agree, good lord how many of us made bullbars for our original 2.4 Hilux and thrashed them all those years ago.

Too many people worry about the nanny state. I would just enjoy it looks great and is functional.
