they look great!
I’m in Texas and I’d like to get one for protection from the deer. But not for the 4 or 5k asking price. May just have something custom built for that kind of money.

I thought prior posts showed it’d be like $2-3k for just the bar. Install is separate…

was that not the case?

We managed to get them for $2400 excluding shipping. Airfreight came in at around $1500. Seafreight was going to take too long and was admin intensive. Feel free to send me a DM. Happy to try help.

My 2002 Defender 110 Td5 (which I keep in South Africa and use as my safari vehicle for wildlife photography when I visit) and my 2023 Defender 110 P300 S (which is my daily drive in Northern California). I wanted my new Defender to look as similar as possible to my old Defender. White / White Steel Wheels / Bullbar / Warn Winch / KC HiLites. I'm very happy with the outcome.

Both vehicles look great.

The bull bar actually looks better on the new Defender, which l never would have expected

White with steelies looks fantastic! Wish I could put the KC's in that spot, but the ACC is behind the Land Rover badge which makes it a no-go for me. What clamps did you use to hold the lights to the bars. Seems like an odd size and I've been limited in choices.

Not to steal @2OceansOverland 's thunder, but mine's now on too.
However I'm waiting on a slew of rather annoyingly backordered simple bumper parts to finish up.
I'll post up about my experience soon.
Love the bullbar w/ winch. Love it.

Luckily I don't have ACC. However spotlight position does affect AEB too. Trying to find a way to relocate radar to the center of the grill. Brackets used are KC HiLites Tube Clamps as follows;

2.25"-2.5" - I had to shorten the back of the bracket and drill a new hole for space between grill and bracket. I tried my best to find a great alternative because I don't think these are perfect, I'll keep looking for a better option.

These definitely look the best. Will keep in mind for mine when I get one.

Is no one in the US working on an aftermarket solution?
