Arb deluxe bar on ebay off an 05 GX prado, guy reckons he has spoken to arb and they said it will fit a gxl.
Does this sound right ?

i just checked ARB's price list and they
state with and without bars.
so i reckon not.

that bar is also not a winch bar.

I think ARB says winch with or without flares. So you may want to check that out.

the ARB deluxe bars come in;
bullbar, and winch bullbar.
both come with both options, with and without flares.
only the sahara bar comes standard for winch and only with flares.
that's straight from the book.

ok thanx guys, thought it was different, shall keep looking

[damonat Advanced Member Find all posts View Profile Close damonat]

if it finishes at a good price,
then maybe do a slight and easy mod, to make it look like,
it's a new design.
yota, better know as glen, has this. A non flare bar on a GXL, and it's not too obvious.
it's all about how you finish or distract from it.
PM me if you want more details or info

ARB told me today(Thursdy July 30 that they are increasing Bull Bar prices on Friday August 1 by about 10-15%, so you might like to hurry,

they also told me that they are altering the current bar so that it suits the cheaper spot lights, got quoted $1630 supply only, sounds steep for me considering i looked in an 2007 arb catalog and it was $1500 and something, he also wouldnt bargain off the $1630 price

does that price include colour coding to match the vehicle? you may want to check that out.

na no color coding or fitting, also he wouldn't budge on price, can any one recommend someone around Melb? and maybe a price guide?

I would reconsider... Please see other thread here, which I started.

It's at: http://www.pradopoint.com/viewtopic.php ... 3e90611d15

The colour coded paint-job and powedr coating is crap, the rubber 'buffers' don't sit flush, which means sand, dirt and water will get into the gaps and will eventually rust and corrode the bar.

One of my foggies, which were fitted at the same time, konked out in no time and this morning that was put down to a crap installation job.

Had I known what I know now I would NEVER get an ARB bar.

Oh, and the service was full-on blase, couldn't-care-less attitude.

I will take this whole sorry fiasco up with ARB head office, but at this rate I'm not expecting much. The last dollars I spent at ARB.

Let me guess, this work was performed by Southern ARB in Dandenong?

Correct my good man, correct indeed...

The guy couldn't wait for me to walk out the door. I've got a few grand kicking around, waithing to be spent on the Prado, but he couldn't have been less interested if he'd tried. Not a problem on my part - I'll go and spend it elsewhere. Sigh...
