It appears your vehicle is a GLX-R. The GLX-R has side/curtain airbags and as I understand it there are no side rails that are side/curtain airbag compatible. Am I mistaken? I hope so because I would also like to fit side bars when I get my bull bar.

Ok so i got the winch in no worries,had to loosen the bar and bring it foward to get it in which ARB said i wouldnt have to do when i got the bar fitted(fibbers).
The only mod i had to do was drill 2 new holes so the fair klead lined up with the bottom 2 winch mounting points,the control box fitted great under the bar out of site still giving easy access to the control plug.
Wiring was simple and plenty of length to the battery,will get some insulating tube today and tidy that up put the bash plates back on and its done.
Took 3 hours to fit and was an easy job i suspended the bar on a block and tackle from the shed roofwhich worked a treat.
Internals of the control box are well sealed better than some warn ones i have seen and it free spools well and has a 5hp donk so comes in and out nicely well woth the $398 i rekon :D

Just brought this 4mm one piece bash plate from a bloke in Portland,bolts are flush mounted so no worries of shearing off and he doesnt put any holes for draining oil so i guess its a skid plate more than a bash plate :lol: any way will post more photos when it arrives,you can also have whatever you like plasma cut where the ACE is,i got DUNGA cut into it should look the good save me getting pers number plates :D Oh and they are $250.00,$45.00 extra if ya want different lettering+plus whatever the postage is to where u live

Bash Plate turned up and have just finished giving it a lick of paint, excuse the shine and refections.

Dimensions are approx 1m long .600 at the top and .500 at the bottom 4mm mild steel

The 4 bottom spacers are welded in place and the 2 top ones come unwelded in the bolt bag provided
Excuse my Stumpies bum in the shot :o

The 4 bootom spacers are also recessed to hide the bolt heads out of harms way

Will fit it up in a couple of days when the jam is nice and dry :D

Why are there spacers at all? Are they unusually flat and need the spacers to give clearance where other brands bend or am I missing something here? And is that one big long plate rather than the usual pair?

Very happy with the fit and saved myself some dough to boot :D
