RV TRAVEL
TICKED ALL MY BOXES
Having researched many bars, returning to Aussie Offroad’ s website and drooling over its Rockarmor GT bullbar, I ' d made up my mind. It ticked every single point on my wishlist, including a pair of bolt-on rated recovery points. I noted A few extra inclusions: a recessed LED lightbar mount, which I ' m unlikely to use, and an angled( which often means reinforced or stronger) main bar section. While not qualified to state how much more rigid these angles might make the bar, I ' m positive they will outperform a flat metal design.
Side rails / brush bars to protect the front guards and rock sliders to protect the sills were also available, but I didn ' t want either for now. Perhaps I ' ll change my mind the first time I bend the OE alloy side steps.
From the photos and seeing the fitting of the driving lights, I noted they protruded a little from the steel bar ' s protection. This was not ideal, but it was not a gamechanger, given everything else about the bar looked spot on. Yes, smaller lights would be more protected, but larger-diameter lights were what I wanted to fit.
