That was towards the OP regarding the availability of crush can replacements
That's odd.
ARB definitely told me my bar would have to come from America. Odd.

Note how by omitting to make the 'e' lower case it mucked up the understanding of the sentence! And the school boys lament; Latin Latin! First it killed the Romans, and now its Killing ME!!

I won't buy anything from ARB anymore. There lack of customer service on technical questions is a joke as is the price they now charge for products in Australia.

Geez, and NOW you mention this?!? LOL

Make me an offer before I put it on eBay.

Picked my xrox up yesterday from 4x4andmore, the WA dealer for Outback Accessories that make the xrox.
Extremely well packaged, lots of bubble wrap, each part wrapped separately. The bag of nuts and bolts is quite daunting, but the instructions are D2 specific and seem pretty straightforward.
If you were buying one of these interstate I would be pretty sure it'd arrive in top nick. Weight would be the main factor in freighting costs I would imagine.

No need to freight. You can buy them in any state from opposite Lock. Same price you guys get them over there.

Wiki states
"re [in] the matter of: More literally, "by the thing". From the ablative of res ("thing" or "circumstance"). It is a common misconception that the "Re:" in correspondence is an abbreviation for regarding or reply; this is not the case for traditional letters. However, when used in an e-mail subject, there is evidence that it functions as an abbreviation of regarding rather than the Latin word for thing. The use of Latin re, in the sense of "about, concerning", is English usage."

Reality is that aside from legal matters re is used as an abbreviation for regarding.

My choice was the TJM bar, ADR compliant and will accept a winch and I'd trust it unreservedly in a contest with a skippy ........
