Look in the business directory for JML gear - he does the best front bar I've seen - the only reason I haven't bought one is I haven't yet figured out the logistics of getting it half way around the world. |

thanks fordem, as you noted the logistics to ship to NZ are prob in the too hard backet too, given the weight. The GV bumber i thought was ok but a bit flat... the jimney one with more lines looks GOOD fordem wrote: Look in the business directory for JML gear - he does the best front bar I've seen - the only reason I haven't bought one is I haven't yet figured out the logistics of getting it half way around the world.

search the GV build threads... few people have done custom bars + the stickied thread in the fab section called example bullbars or something like that. |

New Zealand is just next door, I'm willing to bet there's some level of trade between the two countries - you just need to explore the options - call a few shipping companies and ask about LCL (less than container load) from Australia to NZ. Just as an example - there is a near continuous flow of ship traffic between the US and the various islands in the Caribbean - a vessel out of Miami takes 11 days to get to Guyana with stops at several of the islands en route. If that bumper were anywhere in the US, I could have it on a truck to Miami, and then a boat here - it would take no more than two weeks and cost maybe US$150 - I would need palletised dimensions to get an accurate figure. |

Good point about the shipping....I just realised that I'm prob going to have to get someone here to build on truck cause of the body lift which is 1 inch... fordem wrote: New Zealand is just next door, I'm willing to bet there's some level of trade between the two countries - you just need to explore the options - call a few shipping companies and ask about LCL (less than container load) from Australia to NZ.

If that's intended for me - there are not that many Grand Vitara owners here who would buy - now if it were a Hilux bar - but then again, we have an ARB reseller here already bringing those by the container load. oneinkedgeek - the JML bar has a height "adjustable" mount - designed to allow for body lifts - although I believe the options are no lift or a 2" lift - it really is well though through. Talk to Joe, I don't think it would be that difficult to modify the mount for it to handle a 1" lift |

The secret is in the mounts. |

Yeah the mounts go down into the chassis, when I mounted mine the went down to the same point my airbag compatible nudge bar brackets went. |
