No others available anywhere, yet. The Roo bars you are showing are a part of the JLR supplied, Australian hidden winch installation.

Lucky8 may be working on a new, metal bumper to which a winch and set of bars can mount. This was reported a while ago, but no recent news.

Without a new, heavy bumper, there is really no place at the front of the vehicle to mount a light bar nor an exposed winch, nor bull bars.

You may have identified a problem my winch install approach can resolve. Look at my modified winch install posting and you will see two perfectly suitable unused 2x2 inch receiver points on the front corners of the winch tray. I suspect they would work very well for mounting lights.

Here's your lightbar solution, that I actually find quite attractive...not usually a fan of light bars.

Though I like this, I'm personally waiting to see what winch integration / bumper / bull bars are developed by aftermarket suppliers.

Yes, I agree the lights are attractive -- sleek. Thanks for sharing !!

Unfortunately, they are mounted where the enclosed winch is located.

The hidden winch is located within the front-end collision / winch tray. I am very interested to see how an aftermarket bumper / bar / winch tray will provide collision protection and how it will manage to protect the two outer, aux. radiators. The aux radiators are piped into the main radiator, so a failure of one is a failure of all three.

I am envisioning something like a Toyota 4 runner after market metal front bumper, but with air ducting to flow out to protect the outer radiators.
