follow the link and you'll see the new Disco 4 'bull bar' in the last photo...including PDC!?!?

Does anyone know if this is a functioning bullbar, or just some bling chrome item?

It was shown at the Sydney show - alloy winch-compatible bull-bar, will be available Q1 2011 in Oz.

Yep, that's it... i.e. that it can provide a modocum of protection in impact with Tree or wildlife such as Wombat or Kangaroo... At least enough protection so you're car isn't a write off in the middle of the bush and you can get home!

You boys down south must have some really big wombats to be able to hit them with a bull bar  Just a white TDV8 with a few extras

LOL

I'm a pom what do I know WD!

Welcome back..... been a while since you checked in here... I popped into see Ivery back at Easter.. We should do another catch up at some point! You still got the TDV8?

It has been a while.

Still have the TDV8, still loving it and still nothing has gone wrong with it.

Have also been promising to visit Ivery - just never enough time in the schedule.

Logged in to the site have a look around, as the better half swore blind that she saw a car with Range Rover badges on Friday doing the rounds on our now deserted country roads. The only thing was that it wasn't like a RR that she had seen before. Her words were that it had a shorter wheel base and "funny" back window, but definitely had Range Rover badges. Just a white TDV8 with a few extras

WD welcome back long time no hear.

I am just about getting ready to move back down South now i have just about completed my 6 months "government exile" in the Whitsundays

Be great to meet up in January sometime, preferably towards the end for me if we all want another Snowies type adventure or perhaps we could head down 2nd's way

Cheers

Have been speaking with a mate who is also a LR nut who happens to work for ARB. He has a few contacts within ARB and mentioned that he had been discussing bull bars for RRS with the development team at ARB head office last week.

It was suggested that we pool together and try and generate some firm numbers for sport owners who'd like a bar.

it would likely be a modified version of the D3 bar ARB do.

It then becomes a numbers game for ARB as to cost to get the ADR tick of approval VS how many bars they can sell.

They would also like a few owners to volunteer their car for the development.

it's a very loose idea at the moment but I'd like to follow it up.

Can I get an idea of who is genuinely keen to have an Australian compliant bull bar developed. 'Black Betty' Java Black RRS 07 TDV6

Hi Jimmy, I had just about given up on ARB or anyone making a decent bull bar for the RRS.

I have previously posted on a thread of a modified ARB D3 bar on an RRS.

I had hoped the new ARB D4 bar would be a better fit as it also has a dropped centre grille similar to the RRS.

Unfortunately the only photo I have seen of the new D4 bar looks likely that the grill drops down behind the top of the bumper part of the bar & the grille is very close to the back of the uprights which also taper towards the grille.

I am very interested in an ARB bar for the RRS if they can address the poor clearance of the bar from the grille.

I am located in Adelaide and would be willing to assist ARB with fitment/development if they could do it here.

Hopefully we could get enough people together for a group buy

Hi Jimmy,

I'd be interested in an ARB bar but with three main conditions:

1 - it doesn't require extensive modifications to existing panels/components so that it can easily be returned to standard when I come to sell it;
2 - it is fully airbag compliant; and
3 - it doesn't interfere with parking sensors or ACC.

Hi Jimmy,

I would definately want one, similar conditions to some of the others:
1 - it doesn't require extensive modifications to existing panels/components so that it can easily be returned to standard when I come to sell it
2 - it is fully airbag compliant

I think what ARB should do is develop a 'Sahara' Winch Bar.
That would do what it needed to do, and maintain the look of the vehicle.
They'd sell bucket-loads!

I'm based in Melbourne - and would be happy to have my car used for development.

Let's get them to do it!!  2015 SDV8 HSE in Corris Grey with contrasting black panoramic roof and chunky Cooper Tyres.
