Hi Jayden82, The bar looks really nice! I have a new Graphite GXL going in mid December for the same colour coded bar. I was under the understanding that the 220 xrays would not fit! needed to go 200. Glad to see that that is not the case, and they appear to fit fine!

Here's a pic of a black TJM T13 Outback bar on my silver pearl 150 Kakadu. Mine's a bit different to all the others I have seen, note the black infill between bodywork and bar. I'm not sure why it is this way as it was like that when I bought it but I do have the headlight washer option intact, not sure if the original infill would have retained them or been lost with the cutting required to fit the bar.

TJM recommend doing the bumper cut rather than using infill panels for two reasons. First, the bumper cut is a more solid setup. Second, there have been issues with the plastic used for the infills which has resulted in painting and deformation issues.
If your car was fitted with headlight washers, the only option is to go with the infill panels (i suppose you could also pay to get a bumper from a GX or GXL and cut that). A bumper cut actually runs across where the washers are mounted. The infills relocate the washers a little higher up.

Some questions:
1. Are the fog/driving lights any good? Would be be better to source my own?
2. Will ARB fit LED lights I supply to their bar at fitment?
3. Are they negotiable on price? If so, I should buy other gear with it and try and cut a better deal?
I'm going to place my order next week, to ensure it's ready for my Prado delivery around end of Jan.

I chose Silver Ash colour - a brighter silver than the wheel by a couple of shades and less grey. would be a closer match to the wheels with some more grey in it. despite this it will look good regardless. I think my colour combo is great particulalrly when covered in dust! cheers
Originally posted by brentonsav View PostI'm going to copy this setup. I think it looks much better than black or colour coded white. I just have to conclude which silver. I suppose it would look best to try and colour match the rims, so as not to introduce another colour to the mix, within reason. Can anyone really help here? The photos kindly provided by bfranzen don't show a side on pic without shadows but it appears the colour he chose is a little bit more grey than the silver rims.

Yeah mate, definately a bumper cut I made sure that is what they were going to do before I ordered it. Heard too many bad things about the wing inserts.2012 D4D GXL Auto - Graphite with some TJM enhancement.

AK I was in the same boat and actually had the Sahara bar on the spec list. Then I saw Alberto's pics and it was all over. Next week I will post pics of a Blue Storm T3 with Britax X-ray 220s.My 150 build - http://www.pradopoint.com/showthread.php?27423-A-Random-approach-to-a-Bluestorm-150-GXL-D4D-automatic
