Bullbar recommendations for 2010 Puma

[twr7cx]

A mate is looking for a bull bar for his 2010 Puma. Needs to be winch compatible and preferably able to take the Hayman Reece tow bar sleeve so that if can be fitted with a front tow ball if required. Any ideas or recommendations on models?

Unsure about the front towbar compatibility but I used Gordon down at Opposite Lock Rockdale. He's a Defender driver himself and the OL bullbar does the job for me. Good space between the bar and the lights/ bodywork. Good visibility of the corners when parking.

I was planning on getting a simple bolt on A bar for my puma but have had a hard time finding one due to the uk outlawing them.

I have now decided to go with a tubular winch bar. I have found a fair few; the main three are britpart, shadow (first four) and terrafirma:







I like the britpart the best as the winch shelf sits outt past the bar allowing the A bar to sit closer to the grill compared with the other models. The A bar has a more angled shape which I prefer compared to the other two which are rounded.

Cant say I have found any with front tow hitchs, may need to add one yourself.

I have the X Rox bar on my puma.
It is not everyone's cup of tea though.

I don't think you find a manufactured bar that has a tow hitch in it. I think they would be considered illegal. You would probably have to fabricate something for yourself.
I have a TJM commercial winch bar which seems good, classic lines and not too heavy. The only grip I have is the indicators can get punched out of their mount and broken if you happen to plough into mud, or maybe water.

This is what you want, but as 'newhue' said above, you'll have to fabricate it yourself.

One on flea bay $700 you take it off yourself.

They do look better with a winch...

Powerful 4x4 are the only ones that allow a winch and a towball but they dont list them on the website for the Defender.
