Thread: Post Pics of Your Winch/Bumper Bar!

APT winch bar on my 90. Specifically chosen for a reasonable compromise between weight and frontal protection (in my mind, anyway). Otherwise I was considering the Rijidij tube bar. The frontal protection was all that decided it for me.

There was also a little bit (actually a lot) of not wanting yet another ARB on a Defender, and I quite dislike their current design, anyway. I seriously considered a custom bar from a well-respected source in Queensland but the logistics of getting my vehicle there, timing, and my laziness significantly contributed to me taking the easy way out with the APT.

Do consider the number plate mount on this bar depending on where you are. It's technically non-compliant in NSW in its "stock" form as it's not a vertical mount (it's on the downwards-sloping valance panel). You could easily tweak it but I like it where it is until I'm "instructed" otherwise.

The winch (Avenger) and other accessories (light bar and aerial) are pending installation in a few weeks. Will be posted in my build thread once fitted.

Mine is the same but it looks like factory paint work because the stamping of the serial number is done after the red paint is applied.
