Might be in wrong forum. But these are currently on ebay below cost($129.99) if anyone needs a bullbar for their GL450.

Do you know if that would fit a '08 GL320?

Do you know if it will interfere with parking sensors?

I do not know if it will fit the 320. The front facia and frame would need to be the same. They do not affect the sensore in the 450.

You wouldn't happen to have a copy of the install instructions?

Step Bar
I currently have the Go Rino step bar. It give me the extra step to enter the back. I have had it since 2008 and love it.

I have had these (Actually the older model without the extra lower step) on all my SUVs.
They work VERY well.
I am looking for the same type of extra protection for the front, but don't want to do any cutting or lose my parking sensors.

I was told by Mercedes that I could not attach the front metal bar because of the parking sensors. I am now looking into replacing one sensor in the front because it has gone bad. I'm pretty sure someone back into it and damaged it. Wish there was a way to install a front bumper.

The one at the top does not have the cross bar.
I am wondering if the tubes are close enough to the bumper and between (and not in front) of the sensors, if it might be OK.

I have an old bull bar in the garage and might try leaning it up against the bumper without blocking a sensor and see what happens.
