New ARB Bull Bar

latinoguy · 07-28-08, 06:11 PM

After a dum run into a wall mishap. I took the opportunity to upgrade the old girl after her front end was fixed. (nothing major just a trashed front bumper, dented hood and some other cosmetics...) Now she is sporting an ARB bull bar... (FYI, paid $784 plus tax at 4 wheel parts Laguna Hills...included shipping...) I picked it up over the weekend...since i was in OC...

I still need to wire the bumper lights...hard to do?

bumper looks naked without a winch and some lights

Looks really good! Congrats! The lights are simple.

Nice looking. You won't be disappointed with it at all! ARB lights are not hard to wire IF you just want them to act like your running lights as designed. If you want to go the 'dual' route and have them be turn signals as well, it's a little more difficult. Search for lots of threads on ARB light wiring in the 80's section and read to your heart's content!

Me likey. I'll get one someday

Nice! But I prefer mine to have a little bit of rust.

I really like the look/function of the ARB over the rest even with the less than ideal angle in front - cuz climbling a vertical wall is not in my future.

Nice James.

The lights are easy to hook up. Also; your stock turn signals will be a bit hidden by the ARB. Switch the light sockets on your stock turn signal and running lights. This will make your turn signals way more visible.

Looks great congrats. Always cool when you can turn lemons into lemonade.
