A brushbar
made
of plastic-coated steel (see photos above left and below left) was
developed as a factory accessory, and is fully
airbag compatible. It is still available through both dealers and
aftermarket
suppliers such as
Atlantic British
(they have it for a reduced price of $1099). A strong A-frame covers
the central radiator area, while wrap-around wings cover the
headlights. The central A-frame (see photo below right) can be
purchased separately ($769) and
installed without the wrap-around wings. Optional light guards are
also available
to fit the wings. The factory
winch
mount
option requires at least the central A-frame bar to be fitted.

Another
option is a very functional rigid cover that fits over the winch to
protect it from the weather (see photo top left). I used this on my
4.0SE and found it
concealed the winch so well that most people didn't even realize it was
there. The cover is readily removeable when the winch is needed.
