Arb Ml bullbar fit an Mn ?

[krazed]

As the title suggests just wanting to know if the ml arb bars would fit up on an mn ? Tried searching but found no joy .

Cheers

They fit, but you have to modify them with a grinder... The nose shape on the MN is a little different in the centre.

Cheers Dave , Is it a big difference do you know ? E.g how many mm's are we talking in regards to "trimming" the bar ?

I did this with a Sahara bar and I'm not sure I would do it again. It takes lots of trial fittings to get it right.

The MN bumper sticks out further than the ML. My guess would be about 20mm.

Why are you looking at doing this? I did it as there was no MN Sahara bar available at the time.

there is one for sale at like half the price of a new one . If it could be done i was going to do it .

20mm isn't much if it was just in the middle. One option I discussed with another member (stuffed if I can remember who) was the possibility of getting the bumper off an ML and fitting that as well so it all matched up. Could be hard to find I suppose and then I can't honestly say if it would fit or not. At a guess it might, but then what else would need changing? Grilles maybe? All starts to look a bit hard after a while.

The grinding 20mm off was not the hard part.

The hard part was lifting the bar on and off about 20 times to get the right shape

Pffft. Easy. See photo in my shed for how.

There is an alternative method. I've seen one where the original bar was cut above the top of the bullbar. This allowed the bullbar to be pushed right back, gaining a valuable increase in approach angle. The pinchweld was pushed on to the bottom (cut) edge of the original bar. It looked quite neat.

Same method as the xrox bars
