    Thank you for your clear explanation about installing the Bullbar. I'm going to edit this soon too, so this film will help me. Thanks.

      Hi, thanks it’s really easy to fit, if I done another one it would only take 15 mins. 👍

    Thanks for your advice. I also installed the Bullbar. Now I'm going to install - like you - lamps and connect them electrically.

      The lights are much better than the standard VW lights.

    I considered fitting a bull bar to protect the vehicle travelling through low brush, but how do you stand with insurance or third party claims if you hit a pedestrian?
    New vehicles are tested for pedestrian safety, is the vehicle still compliant with an after market bull bar?

    • @exploresandtosummit

      The insurance I have is called camper van in conversion and that covers all things like wheels, windows, roof rack lights etc. I told them bull bars with lights. After I’ve converted it I’ll get a agreed value insurance so they will want photos, so hopefully that will all be agreed and covered.

    Hi mate just got the bar but no instructions - video helped. Got a Q though, the 4 longer bolts, which part did you use them on ? Thanks

    • @exploresandtosummit
      @exploresandtosummit  2 หลายเดือนก่อน

      I think the four longest bolts used to bolt the two brackets together.
