    Airbag compatible bull bars ?

    I have a Classic Rangie and seqfisho has a S1 disco and we both seem to have the same problem.

    (No not that problem :roll: )

    Airbag compatible bars to suit these vehicles seem very hard to come by.

    Does anyone have any information regarding what bars are suitable, and where they are available :?:

    Hi vlad. I cant speak for the rangie, but the TJM bar on my 98 S1 disco has a sticker on it saying it is airbag compatible. Matt

    I'm puzzled.

    The choice with ARB and TJM is either Airbag compatible or not. They make both.

    Airbag bars

    It's very difficult nigh impossible from photos to decide whether these bars would suit the front profile of a RR. They should bolt up OK as the chassis is the same AFAIK, but obviously need to
    a) allow good vision for lights etc
    [img]style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/cool.gif[/img] look bloody good.


    Has anyone out there got an airbag compatible bar on their classic RR and if so could they please post photos and details. Ta.

    I had a really smart looking aluminium bar on my old S1 Disco, made by a Qld mob called Bocar. I don't know if they're still around, but I remember it being Airbag compliant.

    The plastic bullbar is definately Airbag OK, but they seem to only make them for S1 Discos (sorry Vlad)

    Noddy has posted this pic before, it's in his album. I'm guessing since it is original equipment it is airbag compatible, and ..... it looks bloody good.

    Found a web site for Bocar:

    http://www.bocar.com.au/

    Strangely, they don't list any products for Landrover. :? (How rude) :x It was definitley this mob that I got mine through though, so maybe they've just dropped the model from their lineup. A chance for old stock perhaps?

    I guess that the question is:

    will a Discovery 1 bull bar fit a RR classic?

    Just about everything else fits. :wink:

    The bar on Langy's disco is the one I have been researching. The Smart Bar. No reference to Range Rovers there.

    Also ARB and TJM are silent on the subject of RR Classics also.

    BTW the Smart Bar stuff on the www.teampoly.com.au is very interesting from a Scruby point of view.
