$5k worth of ARB gear - how to spend it right?

[Money-fishing]

G'day guys. Took a good brake from the online world to get some fresh air. The last few weeks have been pretty full on.

I put the ARB order in today.
OME 2" lift (full kit)
Deluxe bullbar
Safari snorkel
Onboard compressor
Pump up hose kit
Warn magnum 10k winch (still undecided on this one)

Now it's just a question of DIY install or fittment in house.

That is a nice list.

[BigRAWesty]

Everything there is quite easy to install..

[lhurley]

Depends whether they want another $5000 check to pay for the install

[Money-fishing]

Yeah, it ticks a few things off the list.
Re: installation.

Snorkel - I'm not game on drilling holes in panels DIY this I think I'll leave to them.
Lift kit - I wouldn't know where to start.

Bar, winch and on board compressor I could do no probs.
With the bar, is there anything that could trip you up, or is it just remove front bumper and bolt straight on?

All up, fitting for everything came to $1100. All prices and labour charges are exactly as prices in the march 2013 price list.

That's not half bad for what they are doing. Wouldn't be the end of the world if they did install it, at least you would have something to fall back on if the was any product issues.

Yeah, that is true mate. My wife is thinking along the same lines. But that just makes me want to get the tools out more!

Not much better then doing it ya self and looking at it when done and going I did good. time for beer

Arb also stock a winch called smitty built, 10000 lbs, waterproof, and has pretty good reviews online. A lot cheer then the warn and lifetime warranty.
It was the one I was gonna get for my last 4wd, but didn't need to in the end as I got smart bought a real 4wd and it already had a winch

I'd get them to do the snorkel and lift. If you can do the rest, then why not. Get a feeling of accomplishment when you do it yourself.
