Hi everyone,

This is my first post on here. I have had my 80 series for about 3 years now but it only gets driven unfortunately about 3 times a year.

Specs include:

2inch body lift
4inch tough dog spring/shock lift
1inch coil spacers
Adjustble front and rear panhard rods
3degree caster correction kit
350chev V8 (almost complete, just the wring to go)
Dual Battery System
DVD player and 2 x 7inch lcd screens
Power Inverter
Uniden UHF Radio
9500in electric winch
35inch BFG muddies
15x10inch wheels
Clear indicators and tail lights

I'll post pics when I work out how to do it.

Regards,

Brian

No its not an ARB bar but it is a good copy. Will be going to a cheezy or fat bar which is a tubular bar with heaps of bracing, mutch better than any ARB bar. Dont think you guys get them in the states. You seem to be crazy on ARB products but there is much better stuff in oz than ARB (except the air lockers).

What other brand that you have that are better than ARB? Just curious.

As i stated above the fat bar or cheezy racing bars are better in my opinion than an ARB bar.

Try:

or

http://www.cheezyracing.com.au/Cr_Product_WinchBars.htm

maybe I should stress "in my opinion" stronger and lighter, better approach angles and mountability of accessories like winches, driving lights and antennas are much better on these bars.

Only advantage i can see with an ARB bar is indicator protection. (side impact protection).

Very nice choices over there in Oz. We generally go with the ARB or Slee Offroad bumpers. Frankie Offroad is doing a tubular high clearance front bumper also. All fantastic choices but just limited selection here.
