Bull bar

[TheDocAUS]

I wonder if there’d be any issue with a regular GME radome antenna, or would it cause deflection etc flapping around on that flat surface?

If you get the checker plate option, the front mudguard area is reinforced to take a weight of up to 150kg.

 

[MrMike]

Yes they are and Rhino Rack even has an accessory available on the INEOS website. Here is the link to Rhino Rack website.

You can even mount the folding bracket along side the Rhino Rack, look here. The Razed product can be used with the GME or Rhino Rack foldable bracket.

That's my preferred option, nice and high for better reception and I'm not looking at it

That’s static not dynamic loading. I’m thinking not so much the weight but the torsional load (side-to-side flexion).
I gather this is why the military examples are so robust.

Hi @TheDocAUS , I think @Greg meant using the rails that are built into the Grenadier, without the roof rack. I would think it could be possible.

Yes, all in the name of keeping the height as low as possible around town, and flipping up when needed.
Would also like to mount an awning on brackets utilising gutter mount and load bars, again to keep height low.

Aha! Thank you.

@DaveB could you do us Americans a favor next time you are at SLRV? Can you ask them if they would be willing to do a group order for the roobar? It will not be available to purchase here in the US but we can add them once we take ownership of Grenadier. Just thinking out loud.

Here is a document listing different ways to secure aerials to the bull bar (and other locations) from RFI.

Mostly relevant to Australian users.

Some different mounting options for UHF aerials in Australia:

1. Oricom here.
2. GME here.
3. Uniden here.
4. RFI here.
5. Misc. here, here and here.

I have purchased an RFI bracket to test (I just need the car now ).

Thanks for the info. It is very useful.

 

[TheDocAUS]

Some more mounting options, not limited to the bullbar:

6. KAON here.

7. GMF4X4 here (mostly bonnet brackets).
8. Mount the aerial on the INEOS' external utility belt (see here).

Some UK sources of brackets are listed in this thread.

No fashion police comment Dave?
Or is this just an advertisement?

Emailed a dealer in AU and it’s $1600USD for just the bar. Can‘t justify that price

is that for the Ineos Spec'd bar - the one sold with the vehicle? Do you have the dealer contact info you spoke with?

Yup, Jordan Thomas emailed me back from Ignition Car Centre in Brisbane. (Jordan@ignitioncarcentre.com.au)

If they had them for a couple hundred I would have purchased them and brought it back.

I don't mean to be rude but.....where the hell do you get a low production air bag/ADR compliant bar from for $200???

We don’t need anything to be compliant on it, just bend some tube and we can slap it on.
