Video on fitting an A-Bar

Hi Gang

I fitted my A-Bar awhile back and put together a video on it, unfortunately due to the blather effect it did not fit into less than 10 min videos for youtube so its in three parts, the links below are the 3 parts Victor Meldrew

part I &feature=channel_page

part II &feature=channel

part III &feature=channel

hope they are of help to anybody fitting an A-Bar for the first time, and please forgive the less than polished finish to the videos, its a learning curve, also perhaps theres a few errors in the fitting but mine has not fallen off yet


Regards

when the A-Bar falls off I'm sure you'll have the mods move it to humour section Nine-tenths of wisdom is being wise in time.

Well what can I say………Fair play to yah BB Thumbs Up

10 out of 10 for effort,
10 out of 10 for initiative
& 10 out of 10 for an entertaining, honest guide to fitting the A-Bar Laughing Thumbs Up

Having fitted an A-Bar myself I can’t imagine doing it effectively one handed with the added encumbrance of a video camera, not to mind having to do a running commentary.

I’m glad to see that I wasn’t the only one to baulk at drilling Land Rover’s recommended 32mm holes in the bumper. I too got away with 20mm holes. Like you I’m thinking of if or when I may want to remove the bar & plug the holes.

Interesting to see that you feel you need the top brackets for the A-Bar, I didn’t bother fitting them to mine, as my A-Bar is absolutely rock solid without them. Granted if I were to fitted spot lamps, then I would use them, as I’d say they would be required to take out any shimmer in the lights.

I look forward to the next in the “BB LR Accessory Fitting Guides” series Thumbs Up

Very nice to see a video demo, Bow down
Bow down
I am to vehicle mechanics what cyril smith was to hang-gliding and wouldnt know how to get the grille and lights off, but a video makes me more confident about doing something like this.

Perhaps it might be a nice idea to have a stand alone mod and maintenance video section on this forum so the more skilled members can put how to videos on here. Whistle I have something to say! It's better to burn out... than to fade away!

Excellent stuff BB, just watched all three episodes.
[even TLO & TFC get a mention]
Likewise, this will now give me the confidence to remove the 'A' frame should I need to.

All credit to you.

Great vids, but really not happy with your blatant advertising during the first video.
You do know they're not a sponsor, so you should add that there are other takeaway shops conainers that will be suitable and neither will invalidate your warranty........ Wink Bodsys Brake Bible
