I have one of these on my truck and no it doesn't attach anywhere to the bullbar. 4 bolts, remove the old stock plate and you will find a small extra piece at the front. Remove it to and this bolts up in place. Easy 30 min job with the right tools mate and heaps thicker than the stock.

not sure about the ARB recovery points. but i had hooks on my 99 3RZ-FE and after fitting bud's front bashplate i wasnt able to refit the hooks. but i have a Prowler bar coming from him that is winch compatiable and 2 recovery points on it for $1475 shipped to perth.

I have had a small issue with mine. The 2 bolts at the rear of the plate (it's lowest point) I have bent and destroyed. Must have caught on a rock or something. First ones then rattled loose and one fell out before I noticed and then the 2nd set destroyed the threads in the cross member, so I had to drill and tap new holes and relocate.

Maybe I just wheel it too hard, or maybe it needs a slight redesign? Make the rear bolts countersunk somehow? Allen key countersunk bolts would be good although I would be worried about destroying the top of the bolt and not being able to remove. Needs a recess for a normal bolt to sit in that protects it somehow. Just a thought?

Does Bud come here often?? Or Matt can you pass on feedback? I am close by to Buds shop, so if he wants I can drop in one day to his shop.

Pretty keen to get a hold of one of these so I can hit the tracks again. Bashed in my stock one last week and am driving around without one. Sent you an email Matt. Hoping you still have some in stock.
