I ended up finding an alloy TJM bar for $220 from a wreckers.. I'd prefer steel but it'll definitely do the job.

Like the post says, I found a very good deal on a bull bar that is designed for a 2009 GV.. My question is will it be possible to fit fairly easily, with some possible modifications. I've got the equipment and ability to weld if need be.. Cheers! |

Anything is possible. Very different cars though. There's going to be a lot of work in it. |

When you say 'a lot' of work, are talking like, A LOT, or a lot? |

A LOT. You'd need to have very good fabrication skills- the car is about as different as you could imagine. |

Allright, thanks for that. Aside from the XROX bars (shit) is there anything else around? |

Uneek bars look infinitely better than the xrox bars. |

Yeah, the uneek ones look better, but offer next to no protection.. for $1200 I don't really want to be welding to a brand new bullbar. |

No ARB for the 1st Gen GV. There were a couple of alloy options around - I have a TJM bar on mine & I've also seen a Bocar (might have been custom?) - neither were/are winch compatible & probably hard to find now. There are companies around that will make from scratch, but likely to exceed your mentioned $1200. Rgs, Michael V. |

FTS, Calmini Don't get put off by the postage as while it will be expensive it will still work out to around the same yet a little cheaper to get a bar shipped from overseas, stupid isn't it. It was quite a lot cheaper when our $$ was at parity with the us, now it would probably be close but still under the price of a new bar from anywhere here in aus |

The gv calmini bar isn't ADR compliant due to the pedestrian slicing uprights. Steve. |

'99 GV won't have airbags or ABS unless it was a "limited" in black or white (with gold badges) so custom options are doable, as long bar sort of follows the shape of the car & doesn't have sharp & sticky outty bits. Well done on finding a TJM alloy bar - they seem to be fairly sought after. Rgs, Michael V. |
