Was in the 4 ways area yesterday and spotted a black D3 with a tubular bull bar with a winch mount . Only caught a slight glimpse as I was in my bakkie and could not keep up with the guy. The vehicle also had a BBS tow bar. Does anyone know this vehicle ? as i would like to have a better look at the bar and where it came from

Sounds like the same one which is parked at Randburg Virgin Active early mornings. Will put a note on his windscreen to get contact - without getting bliksemmed by some body builder 
You coming on sunday

If it is the same vehicle - the winch protrudes a lot and then has a tow hitch mounted as well - owner must launch a boat often. Looks vey macho but not for me - will interfere with parking as well as approach angle.
Sunday is a charity event in aid of SAGDA (South African Guide Dogs Association for the blind) - see my recent posts on this

Guys, not mine...mine is Stornoway grey but has ARB with Warn winch. Check my gallery(my first D3 V8SE now changed to V8HSE without sidesteps). Winch does not ptrude much and definitely does not affect approach angles, in fact improves it over the standard bumper and offers way more protection. It also has a detachable ball and is used for boating, much easier to launch from front. The Bullbar has also aided me in dealing with taxis and rude drivers trying to push in from left or right in traffic queu's, so far ARB 4-taxi/cars 0.
