T4 nudge bar ?

[T-VIER BUS]

Hi all,
does anyone know where to get a half decent alloy nudge bar for my 2000 T4 Transporter from? It`s a Camera Van and i may need to mount a Film Camera on it, but dont want a full-on bull bar on it..
cheers ANDRE

Try one of the 4X4 shops, it's surprising what they have.

Try TRAKKA.

Try an auto engineering firm who can scratch make one, we have one here not far from me.

Try Carshine in Melb.

Hey Andre
Because your van probably has an airbag then you'll struggle with finding a compliant nudge bar.

I know you said you didn't want a full on bull bar but hear me out. Bocar do an airbag compliant bar for the T4 http://www.bocar.com.au/4wd/4WD_VOLKSWAGEN_MODELS/4WD_CARAVELLE.htm and I have this bar fitted to my T4 (see attached image).

The advantage for you with regard to this bar is that it is modular. The bar work on top of the bar unbolts from the lower bumper. So there is no reason to think that Bocar couldn't supply the main bumper with a single loop or any other fitting you might like.

The other advantage is the bar is alloy and weighs very little more than the original styrene and plastic reinforced bumper. It also improves the front approach angle too.

Hi,

I escort wide loads all over Australia and wasn't happy with stock offerings of bullbars. I had one built by JJ Bullbars at Slacks Creek in Brisbane. Is way stronger than anything off the shelf, and best of all is that it is airbag compliant, as JJ Bullbars apparently have airbag compliance certification for their designs.
