On a TJM bar, the headlight just slides forward between the top bar and main bumper. Does that middle horizontal bar mean that the headlight will not slide forward for removal?

Yes you can, but its very tight and requires a bit of jiggling about.

From memory (its been a while since I had a D2a) one side was much harder than the other on mine. It may be that there is enough variation in the the installation tolerances of the bar to make it either easy or impossible.

Cheers,
Jon

Disconnect the plug, tip the lens face down, slide the thinner part of the "wedge" forward first between the middle bar and the main bar.
Installation is the revers of removal.....

Hi guys,

Resurrecting an old thread, but does anyone have a lead on a good s/h bar for a 2001 disco kicking about. Prefer a full coverage bar like the ARB/ TJM.

Located in Melb north east.

PM or reply to thread, thanks.

Here you go Wello, ARB bar off a D2 I spotted for you, $660

Dammit! why can't I post a photo? It's asking for a url, the picture is on my desktop. Anyway PM me your email address and I can send it through if you are interested

Thanks mate,

I just snagged a TJM winch bar in real good nick for $550. Not an ARB, but beggars can't be choosers.

Cheers,

Good score! Nothing wrong with TJM, I have one on my old Disco, just they don't make em for my model anymore.

Mate I have hit 2 large roos with my TJM bar and only grazing to the powder coat - no dints at all. They were (certainly when Aust made at least) a very strong bar...no poor cousin to the ARB. When I got mine they were about the same price and I decided to get TJM because I liked the fit, look and what I perceived as approach angle etc better.

Cheers

I had a TJM bar on my D1 and it was just as well built as the ARB bar. I think those two are a personal preference difference, not a quality thing.
