yer i wrestled the bar into position and got the girl to put 2 bolts in...i think telling her where to put the bolts was harder than holding the bar up haha

Cheers for the offer.

Ended up going the ARB safari option.

^^ Cheers fellas,

Yeah I colour coded the bar to match the paint colour of the car and powder coated the chrome loop in gloss black to tie in with the rock sliders on the side and the rear roll bar.

To be honest I reckon the ARB bar protrudes forward of the car more than I would like but I guess this is to accomodate a winch. No plan to fit one personally.

Was keen on an Xrox but a mate at Ultimate 4WD in Perth did me a deal I couldn't refuse on the safari bar.

IMO - The grill looks like a fat man at an aerobics event.... doesnt fit...

Stock grill would suit that bar better.... but thats just me...

Mind you, love your bar.... ;)
