No reason it wouldn't install. Just might not want to load the front as much?I tried to order that through cruiser outfitters and through OK4WD, both were only able to order it as a kit with the 72×51. Maybe contacting an ARB rep might help

It does seem there are some kinks to work out. Like why couldn't I have used the same mounts as the factory rack? There's even a hole in the mount kit perfectly aligned with it. It's pretty obvious it won't work with the provided hardware as the spacing is different between the bolt holes. Is the forward location rated for a different load? Many other rack makers don't seem to have a problem with it. Would've been nice to preserve the factory drip
cover trim (not that the forward trim didn't already look dumb thanks to a windshield installer).
I don't know. I've still never heard why the deflector wasn't included in my kit. I will note "A" has different hole spacing from B, C, and D, which is how I knew to start with I was installing brackets in the wrong location. It kind of seems like a cop-out on ARB's part to not use the forward-most mounting point, thus requiring a slightly different bracket. But yeah, maybe that's where the wind deflector mounts? Anyway, PM me if you want to buy mine near Truckee, CA. It's incredibly rock solid but not what I'd hoped. Also kind of a weird low harmonic right around 30 mph airspeed (but totally bearable).Brother this is EXCTLY what I needed to see, thank you so much for the pictures!
ARB uses locations, B ,C & D.
Factory used A, C & D...
Wonder why the difference? Hmmm....
The hole in the rack “spines” near your front OEM mount almost look like a foot would mount there, or is that the hole for the deflector?
Agree with everything you said. Haven't experienced the rack yet with the lightbar on (that's a summer project for me) but I'd imagine the noise would go away mostly.I don't know.

They offer an 84×51 size versus the 72×51 pictured here. Not sure if you can order the fitting kit separately but you might be able to achieve the full lengthI love the rack design, once they pull their heads out of their butts and offer a full length rack utilizing the factory holes I'll jump on board.
Any word from ARB concerning the availability of mounting kits for the LC200?Looks great!
We’ll get the deflector sorted!

Thx for any update.
Quadratec! Ships in 1-3 days with free shipping and they commonly run discounts too!Have any of y'all (in the US) found a reliable source for attachment accessories? Everywhere I look online they're out of stock and shipping from...australia in some unknowable amount of time...or marked up 25% on amazon.
I spoke to someone at ARB USA last week and they said the LC200 mounting kit won't be released in the US until late fall (maybe).I got an email update from ARB and in it they said they had new mounting options. I went to their site but couldn't distinguish any differences.
Anyone know what that was about?

It might be worth asking how much the rack itself weighs. I haven't tried other racks nor have I weighed mine but it's gotta be pushing 100 lbs (totally guessing). It's a lot of weight up high. A longer one might exceed what my wife and I could take on and off without a hoist and without thoroughly scratching the roof.I am now wondering if a front set of “feet” from say Gamaviti or TT would mount up to the fourth extra hole in that Base Rack, then you would have a sweet strong set up for that longer option.
Hmmm

Can you/anyone confirm if the 1545L platform is still compatible with the blades?No reason it wouldn't install. Just might not want to load the front as much?

I can't. Entirely surmising for my part.Can you/anyone confirm if the 1545L platform is still compatible with the blades?
As in do the fixing points on the blades still work for the platform even though the 1545 platform is a crossbar shorter?
