    I have heard rumours that the 285/60/18 tyres rub on the ARB bar.

    Not sure if it is correct but would pay to check if planning on using this size tyre.
    Cheers

    I'm not saying anything but another AULRO member also had his bar fitted at the same place as mine and had problems.

    PM me if you want more info

    This is correct Chuck. That size tyre will not work with the ARB bar, but will with the OL bar.

    Cheers, Craig

    Jools.
    Given your comments Jool's the question needs to be asked is this a OL product problem or is it a particular installer issue?

    Hi Terry,

    I had my OL bar installed by the Newcastle guys. Excellent job. No problems at all. I suspect with Jools it was an installer issue. BTW, l have never had any harmonic issues (l have a winch installed). The bar works. I hit a decent size roo earlier in the year bending the bar a bit, but no panel damage at all. Used the winch to pull the bar back to normal position. All good.

    Regards Trif.

    Yes Terry, it was the installer that was the problem, not the bar.
    I saw Jools bar before & after the refit.

    Cheers, Craig

    Just FYI - the OL bars on the Prado also resonate and vibrate a lot compared to the ARB versions.

    The OL bar meets ADRs I never said it didn't.
    What I did say is the ARB material is better, and less prone to tearing in impacts.

    I can tell you the material is metallurgically different. It sounds different and behaves different.

    Anyone who can provide me a piece of OL bar I will happily have analysis done vs ARB steel material.
