Ok, so here's the result of chopping off the bottom part of the bull baryesterday. Decided to test it out today. Clearance is so much better now.
We actually found the tiniest of puddles to play in too and the result being the 60 series coughing, spluttering and breaking down for the rest of the day........ oops
mine is virtually exactly the same ... white '93 GQ with exactly the same bull bar [but without the side bars that run to the step rails]. i'm guessing my bullbar was made by the same guy/company, seeing as i got my patrol from up in the perth hills [mundaring].
my GQ's got a snorkel though ... one of those probs would have got you safely through that puddle you played in ... ; ].

Oh It wan't me who had the problem with the puddle, it was the oaf in the landcrab, likes to go at things like a bull at a gate hahahaha.
ps good idea to cut off the bottom of the bullbar ... i may do the same, as it obviously makes sense clearance-wise.
any problems i should look out for when/after operating?
It's made a big difference and have had no problems since doing it. Whereas previously had trouble with alot of the sections coz of the bar hanging down too low and kept digging in to the ground (also no lift kit as yet, which would of helped).
So we cut the tubes off first, peeled back the flashing on the vertical bars, also had to cut off a couple of inches from the bottom of the verticles at an angle. Couldn't make it flush with the bottom of the bumper because of how it attaches to the cars chassis.
Welded the flashing back, then the bus was good to go.
The bullbar was made by Irvin bullbars, their new ones don't hang down so low.
