, so your price was better than mine mrslo, but after plenty of thinking , i have decided it would be better to use some funds for other things like snorkel etc ... so i may go down the Nudge bar path.... Still yet to obtain a decent price on this item, so in essence back to square 1 again , LOL.... Bloody worse than an Old Woman ...lol
It wasn't me , Your Honour! :lol:

Different shape where it sits against the bumper under the grille. Can be done with grinding...

Do they have the same mounting brackets ???

I actually have an ARB Dellux bar for an MN sitting in my shed, just dont have the brackets, so really iam only after the brackets to mount it.

Hey all,

Is there such thing as a bolt list from ARB for their Bullbars? Some second hand ARB bars are missing bolts but how would I know which ones to go buy to replace them?

Cheers.

I am sure the fitting instructions have a parts list and tell you what size to use where.
See the ARB website to see if you can get the fitting instructions

Couldn't really find anything showing a parts list etc

Ironman seem to be the same. They have fitting instructions but seem to hold what it's made up of pretty close to their chest.

I have a second hand bar im interested in but it's definately missing bolts. Advised missing the bash plate bolts but would like to check them all to be 100%

Anyone have a parts list for ARB Sahara MN or Deluxe Winch MN?

Thank you very much Dave. Does this suit Sahara and Deluxe?


Thanks again.

No idea mate, but I would be surprised if they were different. If you look at the top of the front page they have a part number for the kits. If they use different bolts I would guess there is still an equivalent kit you can buy from arb to suit the bar.

Anything in M10 I would get in high tensile as these are what hold the bar on

So just starting my research on a bullbar, I want something practical but it needs to be sexy as well. I really like the MCC Rocker bar, I'm leaning towards the 3 hoop as it's going to offer the best protection.

On the other hand there is an XRox bar as well. This enters the picture as it's about $900 cheaper :shock:

So rocker bar has better protection and looks better, XRox heaps cheaper and lighter. A little torn at the moment gents, any input would be appreciated.

IMO the Xrox looks cheap. I don't like the comp truck look and the tubing looks narrow even though it's probably not.

The rocker bar would be mine or the sahara bar. Always loved that style and shape.

Do KSP do anything for the Triton? Xrox in appearance but much better made...

Nothing in their website, but they also do one for the Amarok that isn't listed either

I don't mind the Sahara bar but I I just can't help but feel I'm getting ripped off when something has an ARB sticker on it :lol: . Does anyone know what the Sahara bar sells for roughly? If it was the same price as a rocker then it would be the rocker for sure. Sahara would have to be somewhere between the xrox and the rocker to be competitive.

Yeah I like their stuff as well but just assumed they didn't do anything for Triton since it's not on their website, possibly worth me contacting them.

snakesoup wrote:the engineering on the xrox is actually quite good in IMO


Yeah I really like the xrox and the quality seems good, and it's light weight is a plus. I am just hesitant about it as I worry about animal strikes with it and how much protection it would give
