Hi All,
I'm in the market for a (steel) bullbar for my GXL 80 series, found one out in Windsor on the weekend, once I drove out there (from City), it didn't fit the chassis. The bloke selling swore it came off an 80 series and was even told by TJM that they only made one bar to fit all 80 series (in the old style). On closer inspection the chassis mounts on my GXL were wider than the mounts on the bar (by about 30mm), also none of the wholes were anywhere near where they needed to be. The bar also didn't cover/wrap under the flares, it stopped at the body.
My immediate thought was this bar would have come off the DX (no flares), with my only logic why Toyota changed the chassis was to fit the turbo diesel engine in the GXL... (guess)
Can anyone please shed some light onto bars fitting the GXL. Is there only a GXL bar that fits a GXL, what about the RV, VX, Sahara?
... Alternatively, a DX bar will fit a GXL and the bar I tried to fit on the weekend was neither.
Thanks,
Alex
