At the end of the day, all you have is yourself and all you need is your friends (and in our case our Patrol)

Agree 100% been saying this for ages, The GU was not designed to have a bulbar fitted it just negates to scoop.
Thankfully the after market ppl have saved the day

ron 004.JPGi have the arb delux bar and the bonnet protector sits higher than the bar don't see how my inter cooler is effected
I got stopped by the police last month and told to remove the fishing rod holders I had on my bullbar or next time he would defect my vehicle and fine me $300. I went to the RMS and asked for their opinion and they told me the same thing. The fishing rod holders aren't allowed to be past the edge of the bullbar or it's illegal.
The law may be different in Qld. I have seen quite a few others around here with the same setup I had.
I think you're ment to loosen them and spin them out the way when not in use.
Hello from Under Down Under!
I did not know that.
Its not that they wernt designed for a bullbar, the scoop is poorly designed. The majority of the opening is taken up by slow moving turbulant air called a boundry layer, only a very small amount of faster flowing air can actually enter the scoop, all that because it is too low.

They are also having to follow ADR requirements.
