NA Bull Bar

[TheDocAUS]

I was wondering if the parking sensors are getting interference because the Roo Bar attachment points are set outward from the bumper (see orange circle below) Is there a reason IA designed it to set out from the bumper? I ask, because I'm planning on having a guard made, similar to the Roo Bar but with a cross bar for mounting a LED light bar just above the bumper.

I have the Roo Bar, and INEOS Australia says it is a software issue, not a Roo Bar issue. They are waiting for a software fix.

Just go into the menu and turn the front parking sensors off.
You can clearly see the front of the vehicle from the driver's seat so you don't need them.

I’m going to see if I can do this. Didn’t even know that was an option. Thanks for the info.

Dave, where did you find the chequerplate for the hood area? Also, did you satin wrap the truck? Looks amazing.
Thanks,
Joe

Hi
Ineos standard product on the chequer plates.
I ceramic coated the vehicle and decided against wrapping it.
All the advice I got was that wrapping only lasts 4-8 years depending on quality, price and workmanship.
It can also be very difficult to remove and replace.
I have never had any before so that is just research and talking with suppliers.

Anyone know how to bypass this error message on the Expedition HQ order form? Trying to order the 'usa' bull bar and cannot get past this...

BTW, the bull bar has already paid for itself when I hit a fence post in my pasture. Scratched the bar but saved the body.

I hit a small roo with mine last week.
I was only doing about 70 kmh on a dirt road.
It hit the left front on the bull bar and the side bar.
It got up and hopped away
Zero marks at all on the bar work

Customs intercepted my DHL shipment from Expedition HQ.
I will have to fork over another $500 USD to get my bull bar out of customs jail.

The actual customs duty is $27. The rest is fees added by DHL.

An early draught of a nudge bar or bunny bar...can't wait to have the vehicle and create a prototype but will follow the same lines/angles coming down from the opening under the bonnet...it will have to be fitted the same way as the bull/roo bar with regards to sensors, I would imagine...any thoughts?...happy motoring

Great idea - might be OK for the UK too.

Crap, mine is inbound now as well.... Hope that's not the case!!

The box says made in China in great big print. You'll be paying a customs fees. I believe ours were about 25%.

FedEx for the win. They just made me pay the customs charge, no extra fee for my bison roof rack.

Well, in that case I could have calculated the duty wrong. I indicated that it was made in Australia and that returned a 2.5% duty. 25% would make it $270.
I haven't gotten anything but a total from DHL, so I'm extrapolating the rest.


Strike that. Math mistake earlier.
2.5% is $41.75

so 25% would be $418.

So not DHLs fault.
I'll blame it on the protectionist/isolationist faction...

 

[DMarchand]

Looks like my bull bar is being held by customs upon entry. Awaiting word from DHL on next steps. Looks like more $$$.....

My invoice from DHL above.
It didn't quite print right.

Total: $496.10

 

[DMarchand]

Womp womp....

 

[TanisIndependentTraders]

I wonder how mine slipped under the radar? no added import fees.

 

[DMarchand]

My guess is this is a recent catch/change by customs. I haven't been hit with anything for stuff I imported from Poland, SA or China for the Gren. But given the dollar value and size, assume this is a target now.
