    Will NL bullbar fit NH?

    Hi,

    I'm looking for a bullbar for my 91 NH SWB and I've found one for a 99 NL LWB without flares. I note they are both gen 2 pajeros and the NL has airbags. Just wanted to know whether a bullbat from an NL will fit on an NH. Any help and advice would be greatly appreciated. Cheers!

      I reckon it probably won't. The NL had the "factory body lift" that mounted the body higher on the chassis, so I expect the NL bull bar won't line up properly with the NH body.

        I had an NL Pajero, and I fitted a poly bar from a NJ (I think). It fitted no problems at all. I suspect that a NL bart should fit earlier models with no dramas.

          The factory body lift was introduced with the NJ, for models with the 3.5 V6 and 2.8td. If your donor NJ had either of these engines then yes, it would fit.

          NH is a different story.

              the front bumpers are mounted the same between NL and NJ (3.0 v6 non body lift) its the mounts on the chassis that lift the bumper to suit the body position (as I found out fitting the NL bumper to my NJ after it had been lifted to suit the NL driveline). your issues will occur with body shape, if you have got a bar from the rarest of NL's (no flare no blisterguard) then it should fit, assuming they did not change the mounts between NH and NJ it worked for me so it should work for you.

              To clarify before my body lift went in the NL bumper went straight on with no issues to my NJ 3.0 v6 with no factory bodylift. I then did the body lift and cut the mounting brackets off the NL chassis and welded them onto my NJ chassis to lift the bumper accordingly
