Buds Customs Front Bar - Plate Style

[Richard]

Mine have just fronted minus the mounting bolts, would anyone know what size and length I need please?

TIA

[packeteer]

ring Bud, he'll tell you the exact sizes

[Richard]

Cheers,that's the first thing I did but no answer.

[packeteer]

doh, forgot he is closed today due to Tuff Trck

Not to worry, been waiting 80 or so years for the gear a few more days won't matter.

Just to get it mounted you will get away with 4x m10x30 with nylocks. If you have the recovery points you'll also need 2x m10x35 with nylocks, 2x m12x35ish with spring washers to mount to the chassis, there is also an 2x m12x90 with nylocks and a tube that stops the rail from crushing.

I would just mount it up with the 4 bolts on the factory mounts and reuse the original nuts until the proper ones get there. I drove around like this for a while n all was well. All bolts are 8.8 or above and washers front and back.

Thanks mate, very much appreciated.

No worries good luck with it all. Mine fitted up well in the end but it was a bit of a pain.

Hi all, i am thinking of getting a winch and am wondering how i would engage and disengage the clutch. I dont have a hole in the top of the bar.

[calis101]

I have to open the bonnet to engage mine...

Had a look at the buds bar at tough truck today, looks good but how do you mount a winch in Them? Anyone got a pic?

Any idea how much I'd be looking at spending getting a triple hoop bar, brush bars and sliders in one hit?

less than what it would cost at ARB, but you wont get it tomorrow

talk to Monster Rides for pricing etc

G'day
I know this is a pretty old post but are these bars still available and if so will they fit a 2013 model?

[packeteer]

yeah, Bud still makes them. talk to Matty at Monster Rides or call Bud direct

Was in at ARB asking for a quote on something else the other day and then asked about their bars. Apparently getting a Sahara bar colour coded and fitted to my car was gonna take 4 weeks - getting it tomorrow kinda seemed out of the question haha.

Went and put a deposit on a bar today. Went for the loopless slimline. Bud said it was going to take about 10 weeks, but I think it will be well worth the wait
