I was going to order the ARB, but they were taken off the market for some reason (at least that's what I was told).

Disco4SE,

A couple of questions.

1. Is that bar colour coded ? the vehicle looks silver, but in the photos the bar looks white ?;

2. As an estimate how much further than the normal bumper does the bar protrude, my garage is a bit of a tight fit length wise which is why I am asking, i.e is it noticeable ?

3. The cut outs on the top of the bar, what do you intend installing there ?

All up it looks great.

Regards,

George

Hi George,
Some answers to your queries.
1. The bar is powdercoated to a colour as close as possible to the vehicle colour. In my case, the bar turned out more grey than silver (Zermatt Silver). I intend to get it matched by my spray painter.

2. My guess is about 150mm.

3. At this stage, I don't intend to fit driving lights or anything else.

Cheers, Craig

I cant speak for Craig but a large part of my decision was based on the $500 diffence i was quoted between the two suppliers .

Thank for the pics Craig. I'm satisfied now that I've made the correct decision. The powder coater called today to say mine was ready. Now to have OL fit it.

Thanks Craig,

My D3 is Zermatt Silver which is why I asked the question on colour.

George.

Hi George,
Booked my Disco in today to have the bar colour matched.
I suppose that having it powdercoated, then spray painted is a double precaution. Still works out cheaper than the ARB.
Cheers, Craig
