Xrox bar added to Puma

[greenhornet]

Hi Guys
Just added an Xrox steel tube bar to the Puma.
Really happy with the look, the fit and finish of the bar.
Also went with the steering guard and the headlight grills.
Front end has not dropped at all, so no need to replace springs at this stage.
Some photos attached.
Cheers

Hi Greenhornet

Did you get your bar from Gordon?
I ordered my XRox bar at the Sydney 4wd expo at Eastern Creek,it took 7 week to arrive And when it did finally arrive,the front swivel recovery points weren't on the bar.Told that they had finally tracked some down,and that Gordon had ordered some,and they would get them from him and send to me.At least another 2 weeks wait.
But I did fit the bar,and it does fit well,except 4 10mm nuts /bolts and washers were missing.
To say I am a little disappointed is an understatement.

Yours looks good,with all the bits on it.I was told that Gordon sold the bar off his truck,that is why I asked.

I agree

Sorry to say, but I agree with Stig and Dobbo's comments too. It looks nicely made but the styling / design doesn't suit the car at all imo, but my opinion is irrelevant really!

Glad you like it.

feel bad now iv started this hate move on it, looks well made and all, just not for me, good to see something different tho,

come on guys, don't be too hard, greenhornet loves it.

Nice to be honest but somethings you don't have to say what your thinking.

low....it doesn't look any lower the an arb or tjm bar, it think the bash plate thingy that makes it look low

i'm sure greenhornet will give us an update as time goes on

I'm a "form follows function" person.

For me it goes like this:

Leaving the wings exposed to roo strikes worries me and then I need to mount the lights, the winch and the aerial.

After that am I concerned about the compromised approached angle.

But greenhornet has his own criteria and I respect that.

[LowRanger]

Funny,but the bar actually sits higher and closer to the front of the vehicle than an ARB bar,so the approach angle is actually better.The side protection is obviously not as high,but it depends on what the vehicle is used for.And as far as winch protection is concerned,it is protected by a large piece of metal,easily as thick as any ARB bar,so that is of no concern.

All these factors were taken into account,before I put my money down for mine.

And I will take function over looks ,any time.Hell,I bought a Defender didn't I
