Default Defender 90 Brushbar

Does anyone have any recommendations for a bullbar/brushbar. I love the look of this one but ships out of Australia. Wasn't sure if anyone was aware of similar style local to the states?

Did some research on these last month. Couldn't find any that weren't one off's or prototypes other than the OEM one for Australia/SA. They'll ship out to the US, but it's like $3,000 and another $1,000 to install (at least for my dealer). That's just way too much, it cost less than $800 for the Ranch Hand I have on our Ram 2500, and that includes labor.

Exactly! The one I showed above is the Australian one. I love it, but goodness!

@Royalist - If your Dealer would do it for $1k, you should RUN to make that happen<g>. Usually it's runs $3-5k from what I've read. Many just do it themselves but it takes some skill, patience, and good fortune.

Ralf Sarek makes a way cooler front metal bumper setup. Located in Virginia. You could probably find him on Facebook, IG, or web. Really cool guy and down to earth.

Yeah no, it was like $200-400 for the brand new Ranch Hand install. I get these are intricate vehicles but just not worth it. Probs gonna sell the D90 this or next month anyways.

we are talking different cars. the v8 at this point is super limited with the taillight recall and then chip shortages. they are finally being released

not sure how many are on the road but it’s not many. in the whole US there is 25 on autoatrader for sale. most are used some at stupid premiums

i ended up getting a call for a canceled order. paid a little over sticker but dealer paid me over my sticker for my one year old p400. all washed out

with strict emission controls the V8 will prob have a short run and hopefully be of more value.

those that are entertaining these crazy prices are those that don’t want to wait.

Has anyone used these looking for so help on ordering so I don’t make any mistakes. I want to use them for a light bar and limb risers mount. Any help would be appreciated.
