Thanks Tombie - sounds hopeful. Where would the adaptive cruise control radar housing be relocated - same height but to the left or right of its current position? A winch (eg Warn XP9.5 or Zeon) would have its control box protruding above the top of the bull bar bumper section so a higher mounting may not work, and the winch drum and motor would obscure its the central view through the narrow gap above the number plate.

It is also mounted quite deep behind the front of the bull bar, so would have to careful that the rubber overriders do not interfer with the spread of the radar beam, although from experience this seems to be quite narrow and maybe aimed a little to the left. The car will brake if a motorbike weaves into and then out of my lane from the left on the freeway .

If not recommend a Warn anything - and in this application it looks like you may be able to mount a control box above the bar or even behind offset over the Winch motor.

The Winch drum shouldn't be and issue. Being below the line of the slot.. and the radar module should be able to stay where it is..

I'd need to crawl under and take a good look but I think you may be ok..

Is anyone else having front sensors continually going off after putting vehicle in reverse and the back in drive. Mine are driving me nuts.

Apparently there is a washer kit from ARB that is supposed to set the sensor back into the bar, it's being ordered at the moment. Does anyone already have these fitted

Front sensors are a PITA. You can disable using an IID tool

There's only one type of front parking sensors you need - the ones that make stupid noises are a waste of time.

Ha ha ha very true

Babs, Mine are working fine and actually protrude a couple of mm. Only note of caution with instructions was to ensure the existing plastic washer/shroud was still in place. Oh and the alignment was the same.

Hi Mungus,

Did you re-fit your front cameras into the ARB bar? (Or maybe you say this earlier in the thread?)
