ARB Deluxe Bullbar Issues

Yep I had the same wobble problem when I had the bar fitted by Toyota. I had ARB have a look at the job and several fitting problems were identified. My wobble was due to non fitment of diagonal struts that fix the bar to the body in front of the motor. Toyota responded that they were only for fitting with a winch on the bar but they fitted them anyway and wobbling stopped. I wanted Toyota to fit it to be reasssured it was not compromising warranty. Moral - get ARB to fit their bars.

The Bar is bolted to the chassis,its not the bar moving its the body!

What you find is that your giving the impression that the bar is shaking.

Commonly asked question though Hubble, but i'd highly doubt there would be an issue.

This is what I was told by my installer as well.... still a bit hard to believe that the body moves that much.....

I was also told by my installers that those 2 long bars are for when u install a winch, therefor they didn't install them as I don't have a winch yet..... Are they easy to install & can they be installed w/o removing the Bar?

I pulled the drivers side under side off the bar and the front wheel over the weekend. Didn't find anything conclusive other than some untidy wiring which I tidied up whilst in there. There are some thin plastic covers which cover the side of the engine and attach with small plastic clips to the wheel arch and the chassis rails. These were very loose and I doubt they are the source of the noise, but I am going to get some silicone into them to stop them moving.
