I like it but not for $1200+ .

I think i'll still wait for JML's, it won't have the cop bait factor to it. What is interesting is it says "The bar will fit all GVs 98 to 05 " but then says straight after says "and should fit 2001,2002 and early 2003 models with out the triangle headlights" Isn't 01,02 and 03 in between gv's 98 to 05? |

Its air bag compatible, but i'm 99% sure that it's accelerometer activated so any bar would work, looking at another post body lifts would be legal with an airbag GV too...food for thought. |

Comp style gear belongs on comp rigs. There is an otherwise stock looking Pathfinder with a great big mandrel bent stainless snorkel getting around Adelaide, it looks hideous! |

I offered to be the test mule for the bar so long as I got a fair discount. Wanted a couple of changes to it tho. I've not heard any more since I offered so don't know what's the go. In hindsight prolly a good thing as the blue baby came along and I've other things on the cards now. Don't mind the look of this homemade jobbie |

Here is a few pics I took yesterday    The bar's coming off BB today for a bit of modding (center hoop is coming off and a few small detail/make it mine touches) and then to be fitted to OD or perhaps sit in the shed till I find a XL7 and then I'll fit it to that. EDIT: A bit more info for yous. The bar, bashplate, nuts, bolts, sundries weigh in at 41kg according to my scales (not that they are anything to go by) I reckon it'd take about 2.5 hours to assemble and fit (took me just under 1.5 hours to remove in one piece and refit the old bumper. That included a bit of faffing around) The front of the car was lower by less than 5mm with the bar on (I measured it at 3mm on one side and 4 on the other but my work area isn't square) |

I like that it can hold a winch and is airbag compatible but don't like that it looks out of place and you can see through the front wings. I was looking into one but wanted the hoops over the headlights and wings filled but all in all too much effort plus found my TJM bar can fit a winch WOOT. 41kg sounds pretty heavy for the from there how much has it been lowered at the front with all the extra weight? |

I like the look of it but I guess it's an individual taste kinda thing and not for everyone. Agree with your comments about the wings Sco-tie, I'm guna look into some expanded ali mesh or perhaps something solid for that area but still allow the foglights to be mounted. I likely do this while it's off the car (It's sitting in the shed at the moment). I did speak with them re the hoops over the lights and they reckon that because the wings are removable (I just counted, would you believe there are 8 bolts/nuts for each wing) it would make it really hard to do. There are a couple of other ideas I'm guna speak with them about to try and help improve the bar a bit, see how I go I guess. |

Is that the same centre section and hoop across all the cars, looks like all they have done is make new outriggers and brackets to bolt it on with? |
