Re: found a cheep place for GQ winchbars.
they quite often do fantastic deals down there.
speak to AJ in spares... you may be suprised what he comes up with.
Going to call him for a large order of oil and air filters soon... probably 100 of each

seeing as the nissan bars are just a slight ly different ARB bar I don't reckon your call is rightsickgq wrote:i would have got the cheezy bar that the other bloke was selling they look heaps better and 100% stronger, you dont see the comp trucks running around with nissan bars on and i think that is for a reason

i will get the bullbar part number and post it on here 2morrow then you just call your local nissan dealer quote them that part no. and see what they say, they are a genuine nissan part so they will be listed nissan wide.

mmm I am with Grimbo on this. Cheezy bars may look better. But alot of the tube bars that are on the market arent stronger than ARB. They would have to be the strongest bar on the market. As well as some of the other designs. Yes they flex but they want flex as much as most tube designs. And I have seen both designs hit trees.
But tube bars appear to have less flex and stronger. But really it is more likely to be the case that they are less likly to hit the ground.
THOUGHT FOR THE DAY....
Fair comments for sure turps.
sickgq...You don't see comp trucks running around with the stocker bars because they need to be heavly modded to take a highmount, which is what all most all comp trucks run.
On style of bars IMHO it's horses for courses. I'm not saying ARB bars are no good, quite the opposite they're excellent, if they suit your purpose. But for a winch comp truck it's very hard to beat a cheezy "style" tube bar for a number of reasons, approach angle, strength in the cradle area, weight, access to the truck when trying to fix it, much easier to stand on and work on the truck. Yes an ARB bar might come up better after hitting a tree than a cheezy bar, I've seent his too and it wasn't pretty, but I wouldn't assume so with all tube bars.

Thats about the going rate (trade) at most nissan dealerships for the GQ winch bullbar.InSanE wrote:just letting people know that Blackburn Nissan spare parts are selling genuine Nissan black powdercoated winchbars to suit GQ Nissan Patrol for $550 with free delivery they delivered it to my door a few hours after i payed for it, they look very good.
It's just most people don't relise how cheap genuine Nissan parts can be. I always check genuine prices before going aftermarket because most of the time genuine is cheaper.
Cheers Mick.
Comp trucks only run tube bars for approach angles and weight reasons,the type of winch doesn't even come into it as you can fit a hi mount into low mount bars by cutting out grille.the only reason they run these bars is because they can afford to replace grille/lights /guards/bonnet after each outing.

Swivel Hub Kit $241.20- Aftermarket kit (A/M)was $151 inc delivery
Oil Filter $31.65 A/M $19.51
Fuel Filter $63.30 A/M $19.46
Air Filter $33.40 A/M $17.67
Total saving to me was $177.64. All the parts were Japanese made
Going genuine certainly wasn't a cheaper option from my local Nissan dealer

Re: found a cheep place for GQ winchbars.
I was mainly refering to trade prices. There not trade prices by the looks of it. If you can get it at trade prices there usually the same price or close to the price of aftermarket.crusher060 wrote:Just did 80k service on my GU, these are the price Nissan wanted for partsMick. wrote:Thats about the going rate (trade) at most nissan dealerships for the GQ winch bullbar.InSanE wrote:just letting people know that Blackburn Nissan spare parts are selling genuine Nissan black powdercoated winchbars to suit GQ Nissan Patrol for $550 with free delivery they delivered it to my door a few hours after i payed for it, they look very good.

Central coast 4wd wreckers wanted $750 for a secondhand turret and I paid $600 for a new genuine one so it's pays to shop around.
Cheers Mick.
Did anyone get any pics of this winch bar? Is it the one with the two flat faced uprights or the all tubed design? Might grab one.
