    Bull bar "warning"

    There is a bull bar on ebay that has been in a head on accident.
    This bar was on my GQ and was replaced by the insurance company and was to be destroyed.
    It is not a ARB bar and steps as advertised and appears some dodgy dealing has gone on from the local ARB dealer.

    http://cgi.ebay.com.au/ws/eBayISAPI....#ht_776wt_1172

    I would keep away from the bar unless it has been engineered to be ok. Which I couldn't get done thats why it was replaced.

    Would hate to see a Patrol with a family hanging of a winch cable when the bar comes apart.

    There is a bull bar as well.

    Thanks for the warning. For a second before I seen the user name I thought the forum was getting spammed as the Title was in a few other sections as well *L*

    Good work Rosco

    There are 4 holes in the drivers side wing that were there when I got the car and the holes are still there that I drilled to fit a front rack. there are also 2 holes on the light mounts for different locations of the lights. There is a flat plate that joins the side steps to the bar with a single bolt. ARB don't do theres like that.

    Well here's to hoping that it's not yours....... Wouldn't be good for the dealers rep to be involved with dodgy goings on like that
