Hehe, I think if ANYONE knows of a CHEAP arb dealer then we ALL WANNA KNOW WHO! Sorry I cant help there but I dont know how much of a deal you can find really....

I cant also really say of fitting it inside your truck either, but id be willing to bet $1 that you could make it happen. Good luck and let us know when you get it!!

Just installed the ARB on the weekend, it looks real nice, i'll upload some pics later.

the installation was tidious, unlike the ARB bumper for other older cars such as Cherokee and LX 450. A good thing was that ARB included the plates to cover up the hanging inner fenders for both sides, however I still need to locate the hole for drilling as the factory bumper has no holes drilled on them yet.

Cheers

Do they include good directions for installing yourself?

sweet! i look forward to the pics.

where did you end up getting it from?

 

[MacGenius]

there were some unclear instructions, but overall everything was organized pretty well.

I got mine from Man-A-Fre.com and pick it up locally.

so it DID fit in your truck?

 

[MacGenius]

yeah, it fits in the truck with the second row seat fold up..

Nice setup Mac!! How do you find the OME 886 in the front? Your rig looks like it can handle almost anything!!

 

[MacGenius]

The OME 886 is the way to go if you are installing the bumper and winch. I had the OME installed a few weeks prior to the bumper and winch, it was a pain whenever I go over speed bumps. I always think that something must be wrong as my 896 (my rear set up) was as still as 886 without any load. After the bumper and winch install, it feels much better however it is still firm, the way I like it.

What is left to upgrade for my runner is the tires and wheels.

cheers

ARB is HQ is Melbourne Australia on Maroondah (aboriginal word) Highway (I used to work next door to ARB, then Black and Decker Melbourne and Datacraft where I worked)

Ah yes! Actually ARB= Anthony roberrt brown. and yes, he is a clever SOB! he actually has the insight and capital to do an offroad company the way it should be done.

Kangaroo's

Yup, not bad for a guy who started out bending and welding steel to keep Kangaroo's off the front of Aussie Ute's (small 2wd pick ups - kinda like El Camino's in the USA)
