As far as i remember, there was a DX split rim version, for the GQs with no flares, and the wide wheel pack version, which was the most common, as most ordered the wide wheel pack
Which dimension AB?Quote:

Both bars were pushed back to mounts and mounted correctly. In fact both were pushed back to body mount plates so...
Edit....ill have to double check exact measurements of front of chassis etc but that's what I saw in the interim.
Everything's fine, the highmount will fit and I could not of done this without johnos bar but I may need to cut my grille up which is disappointing.
It looks so pretty at the moment... Lol
I'm lucky the ic is mounted up high where the highmount tapers back!!!
They should be the same mate.
There was a bar style that would accommodate a high mount or low mount. There was a huge open area in front of the grille.
I do remember my mate (who works for ARB) commenting when I got my deluxe bar that it was a later model......maybe they changed the design a little.

Just not getting a break lately damn it!!!
Yes the two bars your talking about are the ARB Commercial bar which takes a Lowmount r Himount and has a very big nose and the ARB Deluxe winch bar specifically designed for a Lowmount winch and has a much shorted nose and better approach angle.Quote:

I want to 100% confirm this though with some solid structure measurements, not a measurement to the plastic grille so ill double check another day and get back to you.
