It's an Xrox Bull bar, manufactured by Outback Accessories (AUS).
This one really maximises the approach angle whilst protecting the radiator and has enough room for a winch. It's also very strong. I've seen the aftermath of an impact with a kangaroo. A tiny dent in the bash plate.
Heres another pic from today (recovery points added). Notice how the wheels are not at all covered. Love that angle of approach!

On Vitaras, Jimnys and a few others I cut the shroud down leaving only the top part held with the top two bolts. It's then easy off but has some protection for hands.
Half the time it is easier to remove initially by cutting it anyway. :laugh: :laugh:

Since the Jimny passed it WOF with no issues I decided to upgrade my headunit.
Also a cheap voltmeter after the battery and alternator issues over Easter.

Had a bit of a play today! Duck Creek Rd. The main track is easy, the side tracks are more challenging.
With my winch, brakes and suspension sorted, I finally got all the stuff I want done for now. So I had a bit of fun.
All ready for an adventure:
Had some fun flexing well past where I could with the standard brake lines:
Some amazing scenary.
Heres a short video of the track.
Such fun.
