Just finished putting a pair of led spots on my Smartbar and thought I'd put a pic up.

Your black smartbar looks good against the silver. I have one on a steel blue 150. Coped a bit of flack from some on the forum but don't take too much notice of it. Some people think you have to be big and steel to be tough. LOL.

Jasen, you may have answered this already. Have you noticed much apparent movement of the bar when driving. I understand it's actually the body moving on the chassis, but i noticed the gap between the bar and the bumper appears pretty small and wondered if you've got the same problems with rubbing that the steel bars can have when the gap is too small.

I have had mine almost two years and not had a problem with the bar rubbing.

Hi folks,
well after a bit of a wait the ARB Bar is on the Prado. Very Happy with the final product. Would have been happy with either ARB or TJM but found the dame edna look lost me a little, personal preference only. Night driving found little reflection on high beam, none from drivers side, a little from passengers, but no concern at all. That was a surprised, I expected more from the lower loops of the ARB.
heres a few pics, sorry about the quality, was getting a bit dark.

Hi Pete,
Yep gloss black unfortunately the photos don't do it justice, it looks great. Was a package price from the 4x4 show up here so can't tell you how much the colour coding cost, Don't really know, sorry

Looks good!

Thx Jeffers,
Mind me asking an unrelated question, I picked up the same Uniden as you have installed. Where did you mount the unit? Did you grab power straight from the battery or accessories.
Thx

G'day CP

I mounted the head unit up in behind the glove box in the top LHS. You have to remove the glove box completely.
Then I ran the extension chord for the speaker mic in behind the radio and under the centre console so the plug comes out near the floor next to the drivers seat. I mounted the mic in front of the drivers seat for easy access and so I'm not drilling holes in the dash for mounting. You can see the pics on my build thread...

The power is connected to the accessories.

Cheers,

Jeff

Thanks for the info.

No screws left over mate, Its all clips. Everything clips in and out.

Good luck with it

Thanks CP, your bar looks great. At the moment I'm leaning towards a Sahara, but your bar is making me have a bit of a think.

Hi Pete,
For me it was the extra protection over the lights that made me go for the full bar. Was worried about how the full bar may come up on a black Prado, thought may all be a bit much, black on black, but am very happy with the Gloss Black. It looks like its factory, meant to be.

There's probably heaps here but can anyone point me in the direction of some graphite Prado pics with black or colour coded bars. I'm unsure of which to go for. Cheers!!
