Man, I wish I could find an ARB bar like that! Looks mean.
A new one in NZ is over $1400 (which I'd then have to cut up for the body lift anyway).
And there isn't many second hand around either.

Yea... I've drawn up a few plans, but I don't have too much experience welding and it has to hold a winch pull.

I want to make some rock sliders, we'll see how they turn out

[geeves]

If you think about its design you should be able to get all the winch mounts and bumper mounts into an uncut central section and the welding only for the cosmetic bits

i found mine second hand was really rusty 150 bucks had it sandblasted and then sprayed it in 2 pac put it on really thick so it looks like powder coat lol prolly only cost me 250 all up i had to cut it for the body lift as well didnt take very long but

i looked up ebay every day but for over 6 months to get the bull bar
