Bullbar

Hi Guys,

Nelsons the name, fairly new to the forum world - looking for some advice!

I searched the all the usual forums before when I've had problems before (crank/ cam shaft sensor failure and death wobble) so thought it would best if I picked your brains.

Is it possible to fit an SJ wrap around bull bar to a Jimny? I'm after some decent front end protection and an A bar ain't right (doesn't offer the protection needed). ARB bumper is too pricey and the A bars with the extra bits that protect the front fogs aren't available any more. So was wondering if an SJ one would fit? I'm quite happy to modify the brackets on the bar.

Cheers

Nelson,

No doubt someone will tell you that you can't do it. However you can, how do I know??...because a teacher at my sons school has one fitted to her Jimny! I will try and get him to get some pictures when he is at school, however I warn you that its really ugly!.

Keep an eye on ebay.

If you really can't find what you want, see if youhave a local fabrication company that can knock something up and have it powder coated black.

I'm after something similar to the one in this vid -



but with the centre "A bar" full height, but cant get one for one nor money. I figured the SJ version would be readily avaliable in the scrappys rather than one of these of the Jimny and could bodge it to fit

Need something to mount a couple of spots to plus some LED amber flashers + be pretty forestry proof (spent quite a bit of time in the woods tree felling and doing countryside management). So something that covers the whole front would be ideal

Can you weld? ifso then make one, i got a mate to weld mine up, £50 odd in materials and a few hours to make it, ive opted for a heavy duty tube design as i also do tree felling, i wanted the extra the strenght to be able to anchor the back of the jimny and winch over trees or pull stems

My weldings like pigeon muck - great big splatters!!! but a friend can weld for me if needs be. The less he has to do, the less it costs me in pints!! :laugh:

I'm after full frontal "protection" for driving through undergrowth and when herding cows! The old SJ ones worked a treat at my old job (Longleat) so want to have same sort of protection on the Jimny.

Trying to avoid getting one scratch built due to costs but if needs be........ may have to bite the bullet!
