I think they (ARB) were just being very accommodating...Good PR, like throwing in free lights doesn't hurt either !!

Looks awesome. I wish I could justify buying a 200. 
When are you gonna take that thing off the 5?

Here is a pic of the first production prototype done by the factory. Also for reference it has a Safari snorkle, 2" lift at the front and 285/70/17 BFG M/T KM2's
Sorry about the glare, I took it on my mobile phone.
The interesting thing is that in Australia you can get the 200 with or without the headlight washers. There are 2 seperate part numbers for the bars to fit these, and the washer version has cut outs so the bar doesn't interfere with the washers. Mine has washers and I ordered the bar in Feb, and still waiting - 15 miles from the factory.
Here's the thing. ARB Australia say that the washer version has not been released and can they not give a date yet. I heard the tooling was just done late last week. That could be the problem. 
It would be very interesting to see what ARB USA have to say about that.

No need for that special ARB adapter now.

What about UV protection on exposed winch line? Need another sleeve?

From what I have read etc, it should not degrade or be effected any more or less then the original cable.
Plus 99% of the time it will be on the reel, so it wont be exposed.

Any update on the "gap" issue? You going to leave it as is or you going to press the issue for a thicker gasket that fills in the open area better between the bumper and the sheetmetal ?

Well I have been to a few body shops and we have tried a few things. The best one so far has been a door weather stripping in black.
The problem has been getting it to stay in place on the plastic part of the bumper. The only way we seem to be able to do this is by using a permanent adhesive but that is another whole set of issues. If it rips or or is ever in need of replacement, it will strip the paint off the plastic.
So until I can find something that will actually slip on to the plastic like the smaller one, I am having to continue the search.
Any ideas?

I can't think of anything off the top of my head..I do know that if I get a 200 and put the bull bar on it I will definitely have the bodyshop trim the tupperware 1/2 of what the directions say. That is of no help to you though !!

Silicone adhesive - very good bonding yet not strong enough to peel the paint off. I did that to my mold trimming when it got peeled off at the car wash. But you may want to test it on unseen spot.

You responded by saying you were going to run over your own mother. Not exactly a comeback for the ages.

Here is what it looks like now....
It is hard to see in the first pic because of the dark black metal but there is now only 1/4 inch of space instead of the full inch, as seen here:
With the round bottom of the molding, it will still compress if the LC is being winched and flexes the frame.
MUCHO BUENO!

Hey, that is exactly what I was thinking about, but I had no idea what it's called or where I've seen it before. It's basically a rubber or urethane loop melted onto the edge molding.
If I did do the bumper eventually, what is that stuff called and where did you get it?

It is just a gasket I got over at pepboys! Cost was $30.
I have alot of extra left, so if you get the bumper, and need some, just let me know. I will ship you some! It just pops on with no glue, very nice.
