Checker plate westy

Home made I'm guessing?
Um not sure of 2 many which just do the scrub bar part. Most do it to suit a side step as they run it into it.
If you have no luck let me know ill be able to knock you up something..
Where are you located?

Replied to Tonks PM that mine are ARB bars and steps fitted to a genuine Nissan (built by ARB?) bullbar

All good. Are they a one piece thing though TimE, or can the scrub bars be fitted separately?

Hey TimE,

When you ordered your scrub bars/ sidesteps did ARB warn you if they would reduce the possibility of the front air bags being deployed in an accident. Because i have the same patrol with the same bull bar as you but when i enquired about this they couldnt guarantee the air bags would work in an accident. However when i spoke to TJM the guy there informed me that if you have the other style of bracket where it attaches to the bull bar which it has a pivoting joint in it then that would be the weak point if you do have an accident.

Im hoping someone can correct me if im wrong here but that is the main reason i havent got a set installed yet.

No not one piece, the brush bars connect to the front edge of the steps, you can have the steps without the bars.

I got the bars and steps through a mate in the trade, no guarantee was given re airbags, but as they are designed to fit this vehicle and the "Nissan" bar they should be airbag compliant. Maybe you could check with ARB and let us know.

I'm with the tjm guy. 32nb tube isn't that strong. Sure it'll give some resistance but it'll fold away at the the joint on the bar and the first bend.
I wouldn't worry mate.

Would you like me to check out where TJM stands on the side rails

[Tonks]

3D, that would be good if you can.
