I'm assuming to allow room for the gas strut when closing

Posted: Wed, 07 Sep 2016 9:24 +0000Well... after waiting for about 2 months, My Hilux got a face lift Yesterday.
Arb Summit bar, Runva 11XP Premium winch with Dymeenma Rope, ARB recovery points and 4WD Centre Illuminator 9" spotties.
Things left to add on, UHF radio, Water and Dust defence kit, Second Battery with Redarc battery charger with Solar input, Air Compressor, Diff Breathers and a decent set of all terrain tyres.

Posted: Wed, 07 Sep 2016 12:39 +0000Cheers! trying to see what i have to modify to fit with a genuine bar.
Re: What did you do to your Hilux Gen 8?
Posted: Wed, 07 Sep 2016 12:49 +0000Jump on the ARB website and check out the shape of the recovery point as the plate on the bottom of the bullbar is hiding the top mounting location in those pictures. Honestly they are rock solid and I will not be afraid to use them. They are the shit!
Re: What did you do to your Hilux Gen 8?
Posted: Wed, 07 Sep 2016 5:43 +0000Good to hear. Looks like they have to drill a hole in the chassis for the bottom rear bolt? I wish arb would of got their act together quicker with these points, or advised earlier the bar had to come off!

Posted: Fri, 16 Sep 2016 4:57 +0000Fitted the KSP/Monster Rides rock sliders - easy as to fit by yourself and excellent quality product. I'm going to remove them next week to have the powder coat changed to the Sahara finish.

Looks awesome, and no doubt top notch but at $165 no way. I bought some for my bonnet (and they rock) at $45. I'll wait for eBay thanks.

What are the lights like?
Re: What did you do to your Hilux Gen 8?
Posted: Thu, 22 Sep 2016 10:46 +0000Currently running HD lifted Springs and finding them really rough, so ordered some better lifted springs through Ultimate. Going to fit a nudge bar on front this weekend, and it hopefully looks good with the steel sidesteps and rear bar - all aftermarket add-ons powdercoated black.

Posted: Sat, 01 Oct 2016 6:44 +0000Has anyone fitted an LED bulb to replace the 5w numberplate globe? I've searched ebay buy most seem too long >3cm to fit into the housing. Any suggestions/links?
Re: What did you do to your Hilux Gen 8?
Posted: Mon, 10 Oct 2016 2:53 +0000So, I finally got around to mounting the CB radio in my Lux. I had done this for someone else but was to lazy to do my own. Had a few beers and did this on the weekend.
Re: What did you do to your Hilux Gen 8?
Posted: Sun, 16 Oct 2016 9:31 +0000Am i correct in saying...ARB used your original front bar and cut it to use as the infill panel below the lights?
looks good btw!
