It is a great read. That info is invaluable.

Just goes to show that all vehicles have their common problems!

Don't know what he is talking about the crush tubes on the body mounts for arb bar. The arb bar i got didn't have this in the kit or any mention in the instructions. Any one else know more. Cheers Phil

ARB were the "suspect" when 120's first started cracking in the front
ARB denied the charge and had some deep and meaningful discussions with Tojo, both agreeing to disagree, or so it goes

ARB then released some new spacers that sat the bar off a little. I rang them and asked for some, which they gladly sent me, they remain uninstalled at this point

Scott Lonard is a good mechanic (and a very honest one too !) who has publlished what he knows through his and other experiences. I am biased because I use Scotts services, and he is a fellow 120 owner

Maybe the bar now comes with the marginally longer crush tube as standard kit, I would think that was logical
