Advice for mounting ARB brush bars

[redauxr6ii]

Hey All,

My name is Bill and this is my first post here on the Nissan Patrol forums, so hello everyone:)

I have a 1996 GQ 2.8 LWB with a 2" lift, 31's and 2 3/4 beaudesert exhaust.

I have been building her up for a while and thanks to various threads on this forum I have been able to solve a load of problems myself.

Cheers to a great forum :)



I am looking for some advice or hints etc on installing a set of ARB brush bars and side steps.

As I was going through the ARB destruction's I noticed that you have to drill 2 holes in the front chassis support bracket for the front arm of the steps to mount to.

The first hole is drilled in the side of the support bracket and is very easy to get to but the second one seems to be in a real tight spot.

Does anyone have any advice\tips for drilling the second hole?

Maybe a right angle drill? or a step drill bit?

Any ideas or tips would be excellent?

Hole to be drilled is the clean black spot.

hi bill, welcome to the forum, sorry i cant help as i have full welded scrub bars on mine, not bolted.

Long drill bit mate....did mine in the driveway. Its a bit tricky because if you screw it up, there's a welded seam on the back of that black dot and you won't get the nut on. Take your time and it'll be fine.
Is your barwork old or new? If its second hand make sure you buy the newer brackets and rubber ends from ARB otherwise it's a c**t to fit the scrub bars to the bull bar, even if you loosen up the bullbar.
