Also does anyone have a Single loop Iron man bar with picks?

Haven't seen a single loop from Ironman.

Does anyone know if the ironman bullbars come with a new washer bottle? Or does the OEM one not need to be moved with this type of bullbar?

(... a few years back) mine didn't (Ml) I left mine where it was - However I did leave the bottom "wings" on the bar. If you take them off, the bottle needs a bit of a mod.

FINALLY got my fit kit from ARB, so now to mount up the bar.

Anyone have any tips for mounting an ARB deluxe winch bar to a MN triton?

Have a mate come over and help you out and take your time, I did mine by myself but needed my girlfriend to pop the bolts through while I held the bar in place. Mines an Ironman but they are similar bars. Goodluck!

Mine didnt come with one and I didn thave to modify my old one at all. It sits just below the lower guards but the inner wheel arch plastic covers it nicely. I can put a pic up later if you want.

Hi
Does anyone know if the ML bull bars fit the mn? Identical front or slightly different front leading to some gaps? (I assume the chassis is the same)
Reason I would like to know is the second hand bars for MN seem to be only a couple of hundred less than new so I may as well buy new but the ML bars seem to be more plentiful and a lot cheaper.
Mitsubishi say the part numbers are different for the bars and wreckers say we assume they are the same.

there is a difference to the profile where it fits around the grille. I know of one member that made an ML bar fit an MN. Just a bit of grinding did the trick though

Does anyone know where i can get a smaller washer bottle?

Put the ARB deluxe winch bar on the other weekend (without the lower guards) and the bottle sticks out about 2 inches. Can i buy a smaller one or should i just get the hack saw and araldite out?

Does anyone know if the Genuine MN alloy bullbar will swap over onto a ML without any gaping holes? I've searched the forum to death but can't find much about the genuine bullbars and if they will interchange. :?

Hey mate, not 100% sure, but i'm pretty sure that ML and MN are exactly the same in this regard. I got a xrox bullbar for an ML on my MN.

The front ends of MN and ML's are slightly different hence the different part numbers. Its only the centre section. Not vastly different as they use the same bonnet, guards and headlights.

Hey Ag9111,

So ML on MN can work just doesn't fit up 100%?

Old style ARB deluxe bullbar. Anyone know of a plastic cover for the foglights. ARB doesn't stock them so I'm wondering if another company makes an after market version.

Spotties still to come. Thanks to Boycee for the fairlead and winch rope. :D Try and ignore the aerial, I have to move some wiring and stuff so it's just cable tied to the grille til the weekend.



So 4.5 years down the track I thought I might add to the original post to update on performance to date. What prompted these thoughts was 2 recent roo strikes. 1 was at about 100 clicks and I hit it dead centre. The other was closer to 80kmh and I hit him slightly to the left of centre, basically almost in line with the passenger side upright support bar. After close inspection on both occasions, I have been unable to detect any damage to the bar or to the car. In short I am now very happy with my choice of bar.

Not sure if you're still looking for these or not... most TJM fitting instructions are available online with the right google search.
