I've seen a few xrox bars around, apparently the outside wings aren't held back to the chassis at all, making it weak. Still look alright though.

Still interested in these. Not as strong as a normal bull bar but heaps stronger than the nudge bar and bumper - plus better entry angle.

Opposite lock on Bris southside didn't have a clue about one coming out for the Triton though....

The xrox bars are split into 3, i think mainly for packaging and poastage? and i got mine a a neat parcel and from perth to rockhampton for 80 bucks so it does make them cheap to transport. The wings are held on by about 8 bolts and sort of lock into position on the nudge bar which is conected to the chassy, so not esentually the strongest but better then a plastic nudge bar and great appraoch angle.

Looking at the photos of harleys bar theres no comparision, That bar is absolutly mint mate you've done brilliantly on it!!! i think harley's looks a lot better finished of and follows the lines of the triton so well

Personally i would have gone for 3" tube but still mate thats awesome work, hats off to you.

I also have an Xrox bar....2nd one that was made....they are in 3 pieces so if you damage a "wing" you just order a replacement "wing" rather than a whole new bar and they are airbag compliant and can be ordered with factory height mounts or to suit a 2" bodylift.

Heres a couple of pics of mine -

I too removed the water bottle for the windscreen washers in preparation for bigger tyres later and the increase in approach angle is awesome compared to the ARB bars which I got sick of after always getting hung up on the front of them. Also the clearance infront of the tyres near the wings is a big help whereas the ARB bar covered this area.

They are abit lighter too in comparison.

I second to contact Matty....great service. :mrgreen:
