New bar

[Aussie cruiser]

Fitted the new bull bar last night.

If all goes well off shopping for the new winch tomorrow. All depends on how busy I get at work

Is that a new 80 series bar or did you retro fit the 100 series on your 80?

Hey, looks all right!

Is it one of those new bars that are made of softer stuff to be kind to things that it hits?

 

[DTAYLOR]

which one is that?

Inquiring minds want to know. Did ARB redo the 80 bumper as well as the 40 series bumper? Looks sharp.

The bar was made for an 80. The ones for the 100 were almost the same

DTAYLOR which one is that .

I bought it from a company call Equipe Automotive never really heard of them before. I found a similar bar on Ebay and when I contacted them they had several others in the shop

That is interesting, it looks like a center hoop similar to TJM but side hoops similar to ARB.
The light buckets look like ARB Sahara ones, as does the wing design.

Take more pics in the daylight, it's pretty cool

Not bad looking bullbar at all , Just needs a nice new 9000 pound Warn installed in it now.
Then it has to get dirty.
I have to ask , has any one ever hit a bull????
I've barreled a few wallibies.
I think a full grown bull at a 100 k's would demolish a cruiser.

Picked up the 9500 pound winch today will be fitting on the weekend.

Never hit a bull but hit a donkey one night in a work vehicle. Ford F150.

I will get the camera out on the weekend for a few more pics. Gotta take some of the right rear quarter. Got rearended yesterday on the way to work. A bit of a rough way to end the week

Nothing to serious I hope.

Just the right rear corner about $2500 in repairs. Worst part is being without a car for a week while it is getting fixed

Now is the time for a new rear protection bar by the sound of it.

This is twice in two years. Last time it was the passenger side.
