Hi guys,

New zook owner here, I had the misfortune of purchasing a 2012 Jimny and writing it off. However I got a brand new 2014 Jimny as a replacement which I'm stoked with! I took her for a whirl on the weekend down to Wellington dam in Perth's south west and she work a dream but I'm wanting to beef her up a bit. I've searched the google web machine for a bullbar to fit the 2014 Jimny but havent been successful. I Called ARB and theyve said that because the front end has changed noones built one yet, anyone got any advice for me? Ideally I'd like a bullbar I can fit a winch and a couple of spotties on.

Cheers in advance,

Buster

I wonder if we will have another thread discussing the merits of an XROX now.

There is another style bar to consider as well:

Here's 17 pages of Auszookers to wade through:

Plus there is the uneek 4x4 bar. I'll keep my opinion on xrox to myself.

Is the XROX the best thing to go for? Aesthetically I'm not super happy with it but if functionally it's better than the standard commercial bar I'll give her a whirl.

all jimny front bars have barn door aerodynamics.
with the front and top of the front wheels exposed expect to loose fuel economy.

there are also winch mounting brackets that fit to a moderately modified/ cut up front plastic bumper. trimming to the front bumper and arches allows flex without lift, or minimal 2" lifts and better climb angles.
