I'm looking for your opinions please - D44 bumper, A Bar & Lightforce Spots.

[auf_wiedersehen_pet]

For a while I've been collecting bits for my project. I've picked up a D44 Winch Bumper, Defender A Bar and a set of Lightforce 240 Blitz spotlights.

I'm trying to emulate this Disco. The A Bar will have it's feet chopped off and lowered by about 3", then welded to the D44 Bumper. The question is, do I add the extra "spotlight bumper" to the A Bar.

I've got the original photo and mocked up one without the bar. What do you think?

Personally I fit just the D44 bumper & leave the lights & A bar off, allowing max airflow to the rad & intercooler.
But, it's each to there own...sorry not much help.  :roll: :lol:

Id leave the extra bar off, and try and mount the lights so the lenses are inboard of the A-bar were I to do it!!!!n A 90 air con A bar was how I planned to do the same on mine before I sold the disco.......

I have a D44 bumper with no A bar with lightforce 170's fitted

Perfect combo I think
 :D

For a while I've been collecting bits for my project. I've picked up a D44 Winch Bumper, Defender A Bar and a set of Lightforce 240 Blitz spotlights.

Just to clarify, I've already got the bits.



I've propped the A Bar on the bumper to get an idea.




It's far too high. The plan is to reduce the height but do I fit the horizontal "spotlight bumper" as the question in the original post?

Yes in that case, those spots are expensive!! want protecting if your going playing in the mud!!!!

If you can mount them inboard too tho!!

I'm a softie - no winch. I'm probably going to plate over the opening too - blasphemy!  :oops: :oops: :oops: :oops:

I like the light bumper ,,,,, go for it  :D

things sticking out the front remind me of the arctic trucks 

[wrecker]

id say go with the a-bar and spots,looks very nice :clap:

[JimP]

I say keep it just the bumper and give me the lights & a bar  8-[

No seriously looks wicked!  :thumbup:

A Bar and spots - you should be able to out lugs on the rear of the A bar for the lights which then means that you shouldn't need to put the protective bar across.

I have the A Bar at full height - find this gives an accurate feel for exactly where the front of the car is... works for me, mind you, my spots are a tad smaller!

Hope this helps

Personally i don't think the a bar is too high, though the lamps could do with being a bit lower and further back.  You paid a lot for them and to get the best out of them they want to be as close to your eye line as possible to avaoid shadows in bomb holes.  Plus with the A bar above the bonnet you can see where the truck ends, oh and you can squezze another set of lights in too if you're careful.

BTW, I do lilke the "overrider" to protect the spots :-k

It's a good idea but the spots are 170mm front to back. I'd have to angle the A bar forward quite a lot in order to stretch the lugs out to the back. I'll try to take some photos later.
