Hi all, its been a while since I was on here.
I am just having some repairs done after hitting a massive roo in my 2006 WH Grand Cherokee, 5 hours after heading away on holiday up north in WA.
I am currently looking for replacement headlight protectors which i bought bran new in 2007,,, which are no longer available !!
So I just thought id pass on my info.
It had an ECB big tube Aluminium bull bar that actually saved the car from being a right off, (cant recommend them enough) and allowed us to continue on to our camping holiday!
The bull bar was impacted very hard, 100ks an hour with camper trailer on the back when we hit it under braking on impact, so maybe 4 tonne all up.
The bull bar turned 35+ degrees skywards and the roo on impact bent the spotlight mount bar only in the middle of the bar,,,, but turned the whole bar back onto the bonnet with the radio Arial mount hitting the bonnet, that was the only damage to it.
The big tube impacted the headlight and HL protector, smashing both and rippling the LH guard, and busting up the front clip under the bull bar.
The headlight protectors were a poly-carbonate,, and were on the car for 10 years, never had a problem, never got hot, never cracked, never any discoloration or glazing over. I just wish they still made them.
The only replacement headlight protectors I can find now comes from;
http://www.andysautosport.com/produc...W.html#Product Details Does anyone know of these and are they any good?
Which are not the same but are fitted with double sided tape,,, apparently, Ill let you know how they go!
The cost of a bran new OEM headlight is $853.48
New like for like ali bull bar on the way, but powder coated in black ripple so ill have less reflection from headlights,, and it comes with LED driving lights and indicators.
Ok cheers
