    Unless I'm mistaken, that's the Land Rover OEM Raised Air Intake (made by Mantec, hence the similarities)?

    Very, very nice! Just remember good recovery points as well (for when the people that go with you get stuck )

    Firstly congratulations on the def! it looks fantastic, which brings me too my question. Is there a specific model/ brand of bulbar that you have used?
    Where did you get it fitted or did you do it yourself? Or did LR fit it along with the raised intake and lights.

    The bullbar is from Mulgo, or the expedition centre in Sydney. I live in Melbourne but work in Sydney so I picked it up but they do mail order. I fitted it myself but I must say they are never exactly aligned. It did take a lot of skin off my knuckles trying to jiggle it around but once you tighten it all up it fits great. LR will not sell you a car with any non genuine accessories and they don't have bull bars.

    All that in one week! You're putting the rest of us to shame!
