Is it just me or has anyone else tried to hunt down a bullbar/A bar for a mk1 Challenger?   Only one I can find is a cheeky little Jaos number, nice, but not quite worth the £950 asking price.  Doubtless the shipping cost from the U.S of A would cripple me wallet as well.

A friend says buy an L200 bullbar and, in his words, "Just weld the c*** on"   ....

 

Feel free to intervene, i've had a few ales & probably should know better.  

But it does sound like a good idea

Hi i just got a 99 Challenger and was wondering if it is possible to get Bullbars for it or if one of an L200 would fit ? also will 265/75/16 tyres fit
untill now the only 4x4 s i have owned have been landrovers.

Hi matey, I've been having loads of trouble finding Challenger bullbars lately, the only one I could find was a Jaos number at £950 without import costs.

I've been talking to my friends today, one's a welder, the other is a mechanic, and we're in the process of getting fitting guides for the L200 bars, and schematics (if you could call them that) of the two different veicles to see if we can weld one straight on to a Challenger.  

The only conclusion we have come to as yet is that tig welding isn't strong enough in the case of an accident/serious knock.  Had a few beers you see  

Anyway, I've been told by numerous 4x4 specialists that an L200 bullbar won't fit even with modifications, but we don't beleive them     so we're going to blue vain it and get some proper results; See what holes need to be drilled, plates to be welded etc, keeping at simple & as safe as poss so hopefully we won't have to fettle the chassis at all, and report back for anyone nuts enough to do the same.  

First we need beers

shogun sport bullbars fit but you will have to drill two holes one either side of the lower grill (about 30mm in dia) for the brackets to bolt to the chassis then the other two brackets bolt behind the headlights 1 each side and rest on top of the bumper giving 4 points of contact to the bull bar hope this helps  


and as for tyres check my thread under readers drives titled WORK IN PROGRESS

A bloke tried to convince me today that i needed to buy a bullbar from him for the mk1 pajero that i am currently pulling apart,  he said hed paid £1700 for it 3 years ago. I asked if the frontal labotomy was a success  

Sorry it doesnt help you with your query but wtf
