what types of bullbars ( nudge bars ) are suitable for a 1999 xj limited with air bags

Outlaw Star

Try the Warn Enforcer series. Its modular so it gives you the option to later add light gaurds or winch mount.

ARB bullbar.

Sorry to hijack this thread but where is the sensor on these that causes the airbag to deploy?

xjmarc

The airbag sensor is under the driver seat.

Yup, the arb is the only bumper made to work with the crumple zones and not hinder airbag deployment. It also means if you hit someone you destroy the bumper.

The ARB Bull bar - compatible and works great with a 99 XJ...

xjmarc

If you run the ARB with a winch be careful since it only mounts to the factory location.

Care to expand on that comment?

My bumper mounts directly to the frame with 5 massive bolts on each side.

Is there a better way of doing this? Do you have an ARB bumper that mounts differently?

Thanks.

Guy I rode with a few months ago had one with a winch on it and ripped the unit body. It only had 3 bolts per side like the factory bumper and the steel stopped there so you couldn't put any more in it. Maybe it's an older version but still I wouldn't trust it with a winch and now he has to fix the unit body, notice I didn't say frame cause XJs don't have one.

Mine (new) attaches directly to the rails with 5 bolts on each side. There is no way it will rip, unless the car rips. You can rip any car if you do something it was not meant to do...
