Well, fitted the TG150 today...Dan and I did both his VX and mine, and I must say I am super impressed with this bit of kit. Thanks Paul, this is a great addition to my vehicle.

In my case, I removed the ARB transfer case plate and added the TG150...all too easy.

Pics follow :

Excellent, glad you are happy with it. Have to catch up soon.

Fitted my new longer mud flaps today. My Brother in law works for a Toyota dealership and was able to get me a set without the usual hassle and mucking around. Fortunately for me I had hardly any damage from stones, etc on the rear bar.

Good thing is I get to keep the old mudflaps as backups.

Hi Michael,

Apart from having to get a bracket made up was there much involved in moving the camera? How was the wiring extended, etc? I have fitted a winch but have yet to mount the control box. I'd like to mount the control box on top of the bar (I have a TJM T13) between the spots but that blocks the camera of course. The alternative is to mount the box inside the bar or engine bay. Both are do-able but require the cables to be lengthened.

If the camera is going to be blocked by the bar and spots anyway I may as well move it.

Cheers,
Corine

I am also interested in this. I have a 2009 ZR in mint condition and eager to put a bar on. Bought a second hand alloy original Toyota bar and realised I would (1) lose all the gadgets, (2) it didn't really offer any better protection then other bars and (3) I want to treat myself and wasn't impressed with it.

I am looking at the ARB sahara bar (pricey at 2500 installed) but it looks good and I don't completely lose everything (who needs light washers anyway).

The only thing I want to keep is the front camera - any advice on (a) a better bar for this or (b) how to go about getting it moved would be great.

Cheers
