Gday Guys,

Buying this Deluxe bar tomorrow from old mate Gumtree. http://www.gumtree.com.au/s-ad/middl...12-/1112043163

Does anyone have a template for the bumper cut or know if the ARB stores will supply them when a bars not purchased new from them?

Also what am I missing from the bar? Bashplates? Easy enough to source replacements I assume?

Any thoughts? Will be fitting myself with a very handy mechanical mate and the same bar on his Prado that was ARB fitted.

Its going onto my 2011 GX.

Also please point me at the threads where my same questions have probably already been asked ten times over.

Cheers

Joel

If what is in the photo is what you are getting, I think you would be better off haggling a brand new one from ARB. Assuming there will be a bag of bolts and nut plates, there are brackets and bashplates missing.

In WA the bars are about $1800 new without the fog lights, theres a fairly standard 10% off that as a show price, add $400 for colour coding and a new bar is still around the $2K mark. I'm getting this one for $1200. I thought it was a good deal but maybe not now that I'm realising the bash plates are missing.

There are brackets missing - the ones that goes to the side of the chassis. Bashplates should be available from ARB, at least the centre one is as I have enquired. Not sure about the wings.

This is the side bracket I'm referring to

Looks like it's missing quite a bit. I'd be stepping away if that's all that's included in the pics. I can see the brackets and fit kit and plates adding up to quite a lot... More than new I would expect...

Thanks guys, I'll see what the fellas got to say but you've convinced me to walk away.

As others have said the side plates plus extended mounting nuts are missing plus the 3 underneath bash plates, i paid $200 for a non winch bar last year that had everything. It need a coat of paint though. I have the templates if you need them in the future.

good Luck
