Why does it replace the solid stays with cables?

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

Jump 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!

Good 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!

Fitted 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.

Currently 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.
You, Hilux owner driving the other way, I salute you!

Has 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?

So, 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.

Am 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!
