Re:
Hi Brad,
Google found this exy selling through a dealer as seen HERE, so either give the dealer a call so they can read you the company name sticker on the nudge bar or ask them to put you in touch with the owner of the exy who can help you with information about it.

Please use the Winch thread to share more information about this set-up and it would be interesting to see photos of it in action as well. Thanks

Re: Nudge Bars & Bullbars for the new X-Trail T31

Well, I've read this thread from start to end. I'm still undecided about which full bar to fit to my T31 X-Trail. I've narrowed the choice to the two offered by ECB, and the Tuff Bar. Planning to use the Nissan as an all roads tourer over the next few years, and with my experience as a National Courier servicing the Mining Industry vehicle protection is a must.
At the moment I'm leaning towards the ECB Big Tube Bar. I realise it'll be a throwaway job after a severe animal strike but hopefully the vehicle will still be mobile. And that's the whole point I reckon. An all steel bar would be a better option but I doubt the X-trail's front end is strong enough to support the extra weight and survive a decent impact.
I had steel bars on both my previous work utes, and the most recent one on a BT50 4X2 'bounced' many large 'roos out of harms way. The Cobar region is thick with Skippy's cousins. Does anyone have any long term feedback on the ECB full bar products? I have never had a vehicle with an alloy bar. I was driving a Company Iveco dual cab ute when we struck a big red male just north of Katherine in the NT last year. It came out of the scrub at full speed and the Iveco caught it mid hop in the centre. Destroyed the alloy bar completely and knocked out all light apart from parking light. The ute was still driveable though. I reckon that roo weighed at least 120 kg and were doing about 95km/h at the time of impact. It's easy to say to travel slower but with a 9000km round trip with urgent parts on board time is critical. Happily I no longer do that work, but the Australia I saw during my time in that role gave me a taste of our real Outback and the desire to see more of it!
Hey, ive had a ECB Big Tube Bar on my xtrail since May 2014, i havnt hit anything with it yet, but as far as the bar itself is, i think it looks great, it holds my led bar firmly and is a nice touch that it has the led side lights and indicators along with fog lights.
I also spoke a fair bit with the guys from ECB through email before buying and have to say they were very very helpful with any questions i had.
