Ironman’s on your side

Upgrade for more off-road action

- 0508 IRONMAN.

Ironman 4x4 offers a full range of automotive accessorie­s including bull bars, suspension upgrades, side steps and rails, rear bars, underbody protection, lights, winches, snorkels and camping gear.

The company’s range of replacemen­t winch bull bars are designed, engineered and tested in Australia. Every Ironman bull bar is made from premium grade materials and components to deliver comprehens­ive frontal protection. Along with winch and air bag compatibil­ity, Ironman bull bars offer affordable protection for a ute or wagon.

Ironman uses 3D vehicle scanning to design its bull bars, focussing both on creating an eye-pleasing design and maximum vehicle collision protection. All bars are made from the highest quality SPHC oil and pickled steel (not mild steel) to give maximum strength and rust resistance.

The finish on Ironman bull bars is top quality using the Akzo Nobel powder coating system, which gives a thicker, smoother and more durable coating.

Bars can also be colour coded to match your new truck colour.

Ironman bull bars have a high strength mounting design using a replacemen­t cross-member that goes in the front of the chassis to which a winch can be mounted. The bar is then bolted to the new cross-member. This design gives the ultimate in strength when winching as the winch is mounted to the chassis and not the bull bar itself. The majority of bars for late model vehicles are full replacemen­t, meaning the original whole front bumper is removed and replaced. This avoids the need to cut the bumper and results in a perfect fit. Very few other bars on the market offer the same features.

Ironman has five bar types available starting with the Black Commercial bar. This is a black steel bar with A-frame triple loop design and has LED park and indicator/day runner lights included.

The Black Deluxe bar is of similar design but has a driving light as well as the park and indicator light incorporat­ed into the section below the existing vehicle headlight. The driving light can be replaced with a LED driving light to match vehicles fitted with LED driving lights. These bars are airbag/winch compatible, have an aerial mount as well as mounting points for additional driving lights, tough polyuretha­ne bumper pads and a tough powder coat finish.

The Pro Guard winch bar can be supplied as a no-loop bar or has the option to add a single loop to the centre or a full polished stainless steel triple loop. The Pro Guard bar is winch and airbag compatible with reinforced mounts for the winch and fairlead, has an aerial mount and tough polyuretha­ne bump pads. Bull bars are available for most modern vehicles and can be fitted at authorised dealers throughout the country.

Side steps and rails are also available for most vehicles and are an alternativ­e to factory side steps that connect directly to the chassis. These are tubular in design and have a checker plate cover to assist with vehicle access and sill protection. Side steps are ‘hybrid’ so they can either be used as side steps or if a bull bar is fitted side rails can be added to give side guard and added headlight protection.
