Very nice mate. You definitely through the catalog at it. ARB also stock a number plate mount that tilts up if you want to mount it down over the winch rope to allow airflow in.

Did they give you the tool to play with the dampening? Don't be afraid to have a play, just remember where ya started! Most sets I fit I've had to go for a spin, adjust then drive then adjust. They all seem to excellent on road but seem a bit boaty off road, a bit of play soon sorts it out. Have fun!

are you Toyzx, are you the young lad up the front in there? brought a bit of gear in there over the years, but don't buy a lot of ARB gear, only buy their compressors and the like, buy custom bars from in griffith @ almet, and suspension is mostly Ultimate Suspension, tempted to give the BP-51 a go if it is all it is cracked up to be, might come over and say g'day next time I am there... From Hay.

Nice rig mate, looks great, motivates me to do a few more things to mine

But gee I hate that ARB rear bar, for $1200 you'd think they could do better. Maybe the new hilux will make them do something that's more practical and doesn;t hang so low.

i went the MCC 4x4 rear bar, love it!

I'd go the electric rear locker on my Hilux once I ready, over the air locker ARB have. Electric lockers are what the factory do on the Ranger, BT50 and suspect the new hilux also

140k that's awesome congrats! Pretty sure arb r working on some new hilux gear to go in their summit range. The new summit rear step is pretty cool, much better the the norm. So far they only have them for the ranger tho.
