I believe all the ARB replacement bars made for '03+ vehicles have the integrated parking light/turning signal lamp next to the ARB fog light. The older style bars just have the turning signal.

The first pic is Deluxe Bar for 03+ and the second pic is Deluxe Bar for 98-02 models. The Sahara Bar has the cutouts for lights on all years.

If I missed this somewhere, so sorry (;p ) ..Ayway. I like the deluxe bar with the light cutouts (2003+) but I have a 2001. Is there a big difference in mounting them ? Or is it a relatively easy job, or don't bother with it? Thanks...

Someone on this board has done it, but it requires some cutting of a tab on the frame to slide the mounts over.

Looks pretty straight forward.

Deluxe.

Then again, I got mine for cabs...

Any ideas where i can find more info on this?

Thanks

The older ARB Deluxe bar for '03+ 100's required the removal of the frame horn tab. I think there might be a newer version that uses a spacer instead. They might have even changed the winch mounting design.

Anyway, here is the older style '03+ Deluxe bar on my '98 LX. The main appearance difference in the pre/post 2003 100's is the shape of the grill. The newer ones protrude forward about 1/2" and so when using a newer bar on an older 100, there is a 1/2" gap directly in front of the grill portion. Hardly noticeable. The '03+ deluxe bar has the advantage of Hi-Lift jack points and provisions for fog lights.
