Love that T-series front ... wonder whant it would look like with nudge bar and driving lights mounted to it as well. ... hmmmm

Looks like the rest of the kit is the same as mine (series 2 onwards XR option skirt kit).

I am presuming the front bar would have had to come from a wreckers.

Hmmmm ... I presume my nudge bar would still fit there ... as it is mounted to the chassis through the standard front opening .... I'd say in the T1 TE bar that the opening is larger and the mounting bracket would still be accessed through the front.
.
I'd need to look into it ... I wouldn't mind a T-series front bar that isn't over the top ... and still keep my lights as well.

Tempting.

Bugger ... nudge bar won't fit .... BOOOOOOO
Would need to modify the bar extensively to fit it.
Need nudge bar ... just to hold driving lights in place ... and also has saved me once with a close encounter with a roo as well.

I quite like it too, but I wouldnt trade an XR front for it. If I had an XLS etc I'd give it serious thought.

Simon could you downsize your lights and put them in the airdam?

Or I could get a sports bar and run 4 of them across the roof and leave the front without a nudge bar.

hmmmmm.

Would be worth it, its a classy looking front end. Too good to hide behind a nudge bar.

Hot looking ute. I'd ditch the tail lights though, and get some T1/T2 series rims on there.

The TS front bar had spotties where the TE has the dummy brake ducts but I guess they wouldn't be as bright as what you're after.
