Custom GP Bull Bar

[Hansel]

Just got a custom GP bull bar, they removed the bend in the lower center bar for me. I like clean lines and simple so this did the trick. GP is awesome to work with and I love their design.
This should hold me over till arb releases something at least! All the aftermarket stuff now seems to have some crazy bends and angles...it's all "jeep" styling. I hope a more simple defender style version of bumpers comes out soon from someone...

That styling would allow for more mounting flexibility for auxiliary lights, too… making notes.

Very clean looking design and amazed they’d do a special request like that… Kudos to GP. I’d also do the straight lower bar just like you did but instead ask them to curve the upper center section so the top bar follows the hood line sort of like __——__ as it would allow me install a recessed light bar behind the top part of grill and shine forward unobstructed. I’d like to keep the bar clean and avoid mounting anything on it directly.

The only other small detail would be covers to hide the bolt heads on the front mounts but I wouldn’t consider that a deal breaker not to have. Maybe it could attach using pins inserted into hidden key-slots and the covers could have a small GP logos embossed or CNC’d into them? Since their bar is bolt together it would be great if they could offer few different center sections. I’m very tempted as is to go with a GP bar as I have other accessories from them which are very high quality and want to stick with their brand.

Some other front bars out there for the Grenadier remind me of Dame Edna’s spectacles

I like that look better, it's clean.

The original reminded me too much of something.....

Hahaha so true. There are some wildly engineered pieces out there for such a simple rig.
Yeah the bolts on the front are the only thing I'm not fond of but I'm not sure what solution there is besides like a plastic snap on cover...
