Works better for approach than older versions.
Puma chassis is exactly the same as all before it.

I have an ARB bar on my Tdi that has washers on it to make up the gaps everywhere,Tracey's TDCi has a winch bar that I imported from MM Land Rover and fitted in my drive way,it fits perfectly without any gaps,fits so well in fact it needed to be fitted square to the front of the vehicle or it would bind.Maybe the UK manufacturers need to show the Australian ones how to use a ruler.

I have ordered an ARB deluxe bar beginning of May 2016 - standard black color. Not arrived yet - but had the opportunity to see the same bar mounted on a new (A/C equipped) 110. I put my fingers into the square shaped lower hi-lift jacking points - there definitely seems to be a horizontal recovery eye in the corner/s nearest to the winch-/registration plate area. It is hidden - and you can feel it much better than you can see it. I saw it at an auto show and it was evening - which made the recovery eyes even more "invisible". But the shackle would not fit in the way of the OP's picture - page 138 of the 2015 ARB International catalog - if you download as PDF and then magnify quite a bit - you may (just) see it on the driver's side.
The pic must be a bad angle or something as I was sure it would have a worse approach angle than my gen landrover bar. which is possible as photo angles can be deceiving sometimes. still looks ugly though
It's a brace in there with a clearance gap to prevent mud settling behind it.

Think you fluked one Pat.
Measure 5 defenders and the chassis rails will have a variance of up to 10-15mm

Divide that by the number of defenders measured you get tolerance of 2 to 3mm, quite acceptable..
What?..isnt that how the factory do it?

That was the way they did it...Divide that by the number of defenders measured you get tolerance of 2 to 3mm, quite acceptable..
What?..isnt that how the factory do it?back in the olden days when the factory were still making defenders

Hi , I still have both ARB winch bars , The earlier winch bar is a better bar than the later Delux bar . For those that don't know it comes as a one piece bar , you have to drill extra holes in the chasse They sit further forward , have better access to the winch spool lever , and can see the cable , or rope a lot better . They are very well made and very strong . The Delux Bar comes in 3 pieces , with sims to get the thing level , So the front part of the bar is held on by bolts to the two chasse mounts , Also it sits very close to the front grill . The bar is heavy and well made also , but is poor designed . When I talked to ARB about some issues I was having , they weren't very interested . That was a big disappointment . I think I might get the front welded to the two chasse mounts making a lot stronger , that would stop it twisting back into the front of my truck , Also if it was winching . I do like the look of the Delux bar over the earlier bar , but there is nowhere to put the winch hook ? Jim .
