Thanks, Can I get back to you on that Q? Piddling pick handles outside right now, but the next 2 day will be great, wide open spaces, creek crossings, beer, more beer etc etc. So I'll find an answer for you :-)

Lookin good fredbear

Thanks for write up. Mine rekon is sitting in on the floor waiting. It's been a while since I got that dirty. But it has to be done. You have refreshed my memory a bit.

Put me down for a sale on your old ones if you choose to go that way.

Cheers joe

If you have a vice with soft jaws, sit the 3 pronged yoke in the jaws and use a drift and hammer on the shaft to continue driving it out. Mine are a little tight all the way but they do go on and off eventually.

Let us know what you want for the spare shafts you now have.

How'd it go after your weekend wide open spaces, creek crossings and beer? Looking to go 33s or happy with this setup (for the moment lol)?

Fred

Great write up and build thread
Also have the tidal blue in a 2013 Sr5 and am looking to put a ARB deluxe bar on.
Can i ask a favour as i have limited space in the garage (built in wardrobe) and ask you to measure from front to back (i remove the tow bar on my car) so it would be to the rear step.
I was chasing the overall length to see how much longer the bar makes the car.

Thanks

Hey Fred, beautiful ride mate!

Easily one of the best build threads i've read on the forums, points for exceptional detail on each mod/upgrade/install and pictures to boot!
Bonus points for the amount of effort you put into keeping your truck clean.

Keep it up mate, i'll be keeping an eye on this for help with my build!

Unfortunately Fred went quiet late 2012, hopefully he will return and update us one day. It was an inspiring thread and changed the way I wash my cars.

Hi Fred,

Did you write up the steps you took to fit your ARB bulbar? If so, please email me a copy: jstemmet8@gmail.com

Thanks
