    The thing is how on earth do you design a REAL Bullbar for a chassis that is designed to " crumple" on impact?
    With a ladder frame chassis it isn't a problem to put a fair bit of "Beef" into a bullbar But with a monocoque chassis this becomes problematic.

    My best advice for anyone that has new Defender is for gods sake don't hit anything

    Bull bar

    Slightly off topic, but great to see Ford Australia partnered with ARB here in Melbourne to develop the accessories for the new Ranger, including a decent Bull Bar.

    The top part of the new Ranger bar looks similar to the Defender bar (to meet ADR’s), but the centre and lower section is much more solid.

    It is the difference between a “fashion design house” and a “engineering design house” when it comes to accessories.

    At the end of the day putting a decent Bullbar on a new Defender is like putting lipstick on a pig.
    The chassis is NOT designed to withstand the inertia of an animal strike.
