X ROX fitment in Sydney??

[tritonliz]

Hi

I am going ahead with my X Rox fitment in the next 3 weeks. I contacted opposite Lock in Rockdale, South Sydney and they want to charge me $60 freight which I think is a bloody cheek and possibly $300 fitment (despite me telling them washer bottle has already been removed). They think they may have to cut more to fit it as I already have a 5 year old TJM Deluxe Bullbar on it (2010 MN model). It looks pretty much the same cut to me. Has anyone else taken off another bar to fit an X Rox?

Also can anyone recommend a fitter in Sydney who will do a good job and not rip me off? I can get it delivered free to Sydney for the $70 less than Opposite Lock want to charge me!

Happy to also pay anyone on here that enjoys that sort of stuff, lol.

Why are you changing from TJM to Xrox? Just curious as im trying to decide which to get.

For the looks l'm guessing, certainly not for the strength or protection, they do look though.

The TJM is the old shiny alloy style and the ute is black so it looks a bit shite. surprised she handled it this long.

I am in Perth. I can think of two mobile fitters that would fit it in my driveway or work car park etc. Surely there are people like that in Sydney.

There is also a Perth Facebook page and I suspect you could find someone to do it for not a lot of beer.

If the bumper has been cut really it is not a lot of work.

Thanks Dave, you could have told me that 12 months ago, lol. Were you just being polite..yes I am changing as want something less bulky and am going all black.

Am sure the question was "Where can I get the X Rox bar fitted in Sydney where they aren't sarcastic sods like Opposite Lock in Rockdale are?"

That is what I thought but Opposite Lock seem to think it may cost more to fit if bumper been cut for another bar previously, which I think is rubbish. I want someone to do a good job..

I suppose if they thought it had been cut higher that might cause some dramas but that doesn't seem too likely to me. And maybe it is harder to take off an existing bar than to cut off a bit of plastic? If the bolts were a bit seized or whatever, which is possible given the time you spend near salt water. It's a shame though as they gave me reasonable service on a few things when I went there a while back. In particular they did a great job on the diff lockers. Come to think of it though the bullbar install was a bit ordinary.

I had mine fitted by my panel beater who has now retired. I struggle to find anyone decent down south and now do most of the work myself if I have time. Maybe contact the manufacturer and see who is their suggested installer down south.

After having chats with the owner I am going back to Opposite Lock as they also did a good deal on the bash plate being powdercoated, fitting that was cheap and an LED bar and spotties for the X Rox..they came out almost $300 cheaper than Opposite Lock in Cambeltown and Wollongong couldn't even be arsed to reply to my enquiry! X Rox recommend Opp Lock.
