    Default SIII Brush Bar

    I recently pulled the rusty old bent bull bar off of my SIII and sold it on ebay, hoping to find a suitable replacement that more closely resembles the rectangular brush guards found on many defenders. However, I haven't found any great aftermarket brush guards readily available.

    Where does one look for a brush guard for a SIII? I have a new bumper, and am looking for the type that is welded/bolted on the existing SIII bumper...

    IIRC, the Defender factory wrap-around brush guard will fit a Series bumper. Maybe Les can confirm and advise of availability.

    Otherwise, that trophy bar is awesome and IMO is the best looking brush bar on a Series vehicle.

    I'm running the Defender bar on my Series III 109. It's a snap to bolt on. This is my avitar pic. Name:  mearstrae.jpg

    That's the look I'm going for! Where do you find one of those in the southeastern US?

    Are any of the ARB winch bumpers series compatible?

    I believe the Defender ones are, Max has one and speaks highly of its "ford ranger punting" abilities.

    I do agree that the trophy bars look best on a series, but $800 for just the bar is pretty steep IMO.
    I had a wrap around style bar on my stage 1 for a few years, and it just never looked "right".

    The Wrap around Brush Bar (#STC50270) has been unavailable new for a few years.
    Finding a good used on could be difficult, as folk tend to hang on to them.

    Once rust is in, there is no cure
