Thread: Bull-bar/ winch bar for airbag RRC

I suppose I should have clarified my comments. In Victoria it would be illegal to fit virtually any bullbar to a airbag rangie classic. The bullbar has to be tested for that particular vehicle and since only 10 (repeat of joke) LSE Aibag classics were ever imported, they would have not tested them on it.

You can get around this by finding a bullbar that was certified by Landrover for that vehicle. So if Landrover sold a bullbar as an accessory, or recommended a certain bar for that model, you can legally fit it.

The vehicle laws are stupid, but ours is not to question why.

Rovercare, I'd be interested to have a look at your disco bar.
The only reason I need a bar at all is to put my winch on it, it has the factory option bullbar arrangement on it. Guess I can always just carry my big tirfor, but the electric winch is sure nice when you need it.
I've had a vague idea to mount a winch under the centre of a vehicle for a long time, like the big old inter army trucks. Wonder if anyone has attempted this.

Centre mount winch is ALOT of work and not worth it, in my useless opinion

Its actually in Mirboo north at the moment but can grab it and you can drop in and have a bo peep
