You would need indicators that are visible from the side also, if you added some little marker lights you could leave it like that.
Don't do the grill until the HiMount is done mate and do the grill once
The indicators on the bar have different plugs as well.Quote:

Cut the wires going to the plugs and splice some tails in long enought to run down to your bar. Get them working make. It's actually not legal to have indicator lenses that don't function. If the bar has them they must be wired for roadworthy.
Get it done anyway mate.
Ok....Just checked out Rossco's bar and rang Gary and I am happy to announce my bull bar sux!!!
From the front plate to the AC condenser is 270mm.
Attachment 48144
Mine looks like an ARB Delux Bar as above but it is a winch bar, not sure whats going on there.
Rosscos is the ARB delux winch bar as shown below and is 315mm from plate to AC. Loads more room and will fit the highmount no probs!
Attachment 48145
And Gary's is the ARB Commercial bar which is a massive 400mm clearance!!!
If anyone finds an ARB Deluxe winch bar for sale please let me know...lol...Or swap for my awesome one!!!!
So is mine....

Yep, that's the bar I need...swap?....lolQuote:

You are right the delux bar is the one Jonny has posted and the commercial bar has a bigger nose again and is the bar listed for the high mount.
Yours would be perfect for someone wanting to fit a HiMount without a front mount intercooler and the snuggest fit possible for the tightest approach angle.
I am happy to supply you with a decent brand new Runva low mount with rope to swap for your HiMount mate.... I'm your man!
I just keep hearing excuses! Why not fit everything then built a custom tube bar around it! I'd offer to help but I can't weld I've heard
It's factory winch though which is strange.Quote:

Should have asked Gary to swap mate! Although I have seen his take some big hits! We call his the Grader Blade mate
Yeah its a good bar isn't it. .. I was going to get rid of it but Darren convinced me to keep it. ..lolQuote:

Darren doesn't know what he's talking about, get rid of that junk mate...lolQuote:

Find a new bar I reckon AB
Yeah I'm a dribbling idiot. Swap it out mate. What were you going to buy Jonno
Traitor. .... I was going to go a comp style bar.... I like winnies bar the most.Quote:

Or AB should hit Millweld up to be forum sponsors and do him a deal on some bar work.
I reckon my FAT bar is a killer and the best looking tube bar made by a long way but you can't get them any more!
Cheezy had just entered the market again and might do you a front bar, he is doing front bars again with integrated driving /fog lights.
Regardless I'll move the IC right back and see how I go. As discussed the option is also there to move condenser back as well which isn't hard and keep everything the same or put a new or new/second bar on and flog off this one off.Quote:

Maybe it's just a really early ARB bar? If not it's a bloody good copy! You have to convince johnny that his bar is no good and that he needs to upgrade bwahaha
The only way I would get rid of my bar is if I could get the same as Winnies as I can keep my scrub bars otherwise its worth too much to me.
Hey Andy my bar is off at the moment sitting around the side of the house is there anything you need measured while its off??
I looked on mud rhino about 6 months ago and there were about 3 bars like mine for sale.
Thanks bud I should be ok though. I just need to find a bar like yours...lolQuote:

Coming up Yarra glen to my house and down my road I used to have to wait a bit in my driveway to get under 200. Rolled into the driveway at 140.
It works a treat!
Shit hot mate well done
Awesome results man!
