New 4x4 Gear: Thunder LED driving light, Opposite Lock and Ironman 4x4 bullbars

Staying safe on the tracks can be summarised with two basic ways of thinking - look where you are going and don't hit anything. Quite often your 4x4 could do with some improvement in that regard.

We’ve put together a selection of new 4x4 gear that will light the way and protect your 4x4 from any unwanted encounters on the track.

Thunder LED Round driving light

4

Thunder’s latest model in its lighting range comprises two driving lights with 30 LEDs (220mm) or 18 LEDs (170mm). Featuring Cree XTE tech, the lights offer a beam of light measuring up to 690m in length, with the white light output within the 6000k colour temp range for clarity and to reduce impact on your eyes.

The lights feature a gunmetal grey powder-coated finish and are built tough, too, offering an IP67 water- and dust-ingress rating that ensures desert travel and any water crossings can be dispatched with little concern for these front-mounted candles. Installing the lights is a doddle thanks to the included Deutsch connectors and hardware. The lights are suitable for a range of 10-32V applications.

RRP: $299 (30 LED); $251 (18 LED)

Ironman 4x4 bullbar (Nissan Y62 Patrol)

4

Made using top-notch premium-grade materials, Ironman 4x4’s new Premium Commercial Deluxe bullbar for the 2010-onwards Y62 Nissan Patrol is a true work of metallurgical art. SPHC oil and pickled steel (not mild steel) finished off with 360-degree robotic welds is used to ensure optimum strength and rust-resistance. Further enhancing strength, the bar’s upper loop is heavy-duty 60.3mm tubular steel.

The bar is finished in black powder-coat and Ironman 4x4 has used AKZO NOBEL powder which ensures a thicker, more durable exterior coating for the bar. The bar is winch-compatible and uses a unique mount cradle to eliminate excess weight.

There is provision for OE parking sensors, plus it includes a high-lift jack point, aerial mount and provision for fitment of spotties or a light bar. The bullbar is airbag-compatible and ADR compliant.

Opposite Lock’s Urban Adventure Bar is a full bumper replacement, meaning no cuts to your existing front bumper, and it also includes 30W auxiliary floodlights as standard. Other standard kit includes extra auxiliary lighting mounting points and a matte black powder-coated finish.

The bar includes triple underbody plates, increased approach angles and a low-mount winch provision that fits to the vehicle’s chassis. Like all Opposite Lock engineered and developed bullbars, the Urban Adventure bar is ADR and SRS Airbag compliant and has a two-year warranty.

Additional features that maintain the functionality of your rig include tech pack and parking sensor compatibility, hinged number plate brackets and optional colour coding if you want to match it to your vehicle.
