Looking for a bullbar for a WB ute. 5 poster preferable. I understand HJ/Q/X/Z bullbars should fit as well. correct me if I'm wrong.

i have an alloy one in WA.$250 Genuine Irvin bar

WB really needs WB bar, HQ-HZ bars have slightly different angle, they fit, but don't look right.

Tuning for Holley carbs in Perth? PM me.

The main difference I found was the WB has a shorter chassis at the front, Early bumper brackets had 3 mounting holes WB has only 2 as its a bit shorter.
I have a HZ 5 post alloy bullbar(Gitsham) for my WB van but I have also retro fitted a HJ statesman front to the car , I found the fitment to be okay.

I agree with Adam on the angle being different. They dont match the front properly off the earlier series.

The 5 poster on my WB was sold to me as a HQ bar but the mounts were drilled for both WB and HQ and it seems to look rite on the WB

the WB ones should follow the lower plastic bit that holds the base of the grille in. the WB bars are more bent than a HQ-Z along this line..

a WB bar on a HQ protrudes out more in the middle..
