Hi there can anyone tell me if a 97 model Pajero bull bar would fit into a 2000 model NL Pajero
Thanks
Thanks

FWIW, I bought a new Poly bullbar for my NL. This was supposed to fit a 94 model from memory, but it fitted my NL perfectly. The only problem you may have is if the NL model was one of the blister mudguard models (Exceed), but if it is a standard model, it should fit. -
A 2000 model would be an NL escape with the bolt on flares, yay or nay?99 NL Exceed with air in tyresComment

No, it can still be an Exceed in 2000 (blister side)

My NL Pajero was a 2000 model Escape, and the earlier model bullbar fitted straight onto it no problems.Comment

All the bull bars fit, it's the bar width that differs between the GLX and GLS, but the Exceed and Escape should both be the wider bar.99 NL Exceed with air in tyresComment

The answer to the OP's Q... Yes they will fit...........The Loops on a GLS and Exceed, both are widebody, has a slight bend in them to clear the lights and indicators... The bar I have on ATM has no bend in the loops and is off an Escape or GLX... The Bars are all the same fitting wise, just the bend in the loops is different... If you google Wide body Bars and Escape bars you will see the difference around the Headlight/Indicator area...

An Escape is a GLX with flares and therefore uses the wide body/GLS/Exceed bar, but they are all the same fitting wise except the NL had the body lift and needs packing between the bar and chassis rails, (not 100% necessary but advisable if winching off it)
There is a filler piece that may need to be trimmed in the corners when going one way or the other.99 NL Exceed with air in tyresComment

Good luck, they go for a fair price.... One reason I didn't get another ARB bar is the weight issue.... By the time you mount a winch on them they weigh a fair bit and that is not the best on an IFS 4x4... By going alloy and a winch plate welded on the Frame, you lighten the load and the winch fits further back for better weight distribution....

Apart from the statement about moving the weight back, the rest dosesn't make sense, weight is weight regardless of where it sits in front of the the front wheels so it will have the same impact on the suspension. YES alloy is lighter than steel, but a winch has the same impact on the suspension, a the few inches forward or back wont have that great an impact om weight distribution due to the height, but as always I could be wrong and woould be happy to be proven so.Originally posted by gemster View PostGood luck, they go for a fair price....

where my winch is going to be is about 8" further back than if it was on a winch bar... Makes a difference... Every bit helps...
