Thread: Brush bars & side steps - ARB bull bar

Hi all, I've been looking at getting some side steps, preferably sliders that have the side brush bars going to the bull bar. I have called ARB and they only do then for the D1. So 2 questionsoes a D2 use the same mounts etc as the D1? (ie can you fit d1 steps to d2 and vice versa).


And does anyone know who/where I can get some of these? I like the look and protection the brush bars would provide but obviously having some difficulty locating. I emailed a guy in the UK, forgot the site that advertised some but he never got back to me.
Thanks everyone.

Anyways I will continue my search.

Its about the shock pulse. The bullbar can be SRS complient, and they set the crush cans to suit, but if you add brush bars it stiffenes the bullbar from moving and absorbing the intital impace and increases the crash pulse. I doubt a brush bar that doesn't affect the crash pulse would do much at all.

I'm sure they would have no problem in designing a bullbar and brush bar that is SRS compatible....but a compatible modular design may be more difficult.
