Thread: ARB Deluxe bar vs Summit bar - Will they both fit?

Cant help with the bar choice but they are fairly simple to fit but there are some fiddly bits like cutting the inner guard where the bar lower capping meets the plastic liner, indicators need to be wired as well .

I have attached the fitting instructions that came with my bar which covers D3 to D4 2011.

Heres my MY11 D4 with ARB bar. Dont know off the top of my head if its Summit or Deluxe, but i wouldnt have a 4wd without one now. This one came with the car when i bought it 5 years ago.20190806_180740.jpg

I believe even with the facelift models, the gaps below the lights and grille would remain the same, and mounting points for the bar are also the same, as the facelift D4 still has the same chassis as the pre-facelift vehicles.

That’s the deluxe, thanks anyway eric

That’s a Deluxe bar, Summit bars have larger diameter tube work and are more rounded on the bar edges.

This is a Summit bar on my MY14, I have no idea why the photo is sideways

THnks guys but I really just want info on anyone fitting deluxe to facelift D4 or vice versa

need to know if the mountings are the same

Summit bar will fit bit was not approved for earlier models therefore they can’t fit it.

If you got it yourself and fitted yourself it won’t be a problem.

That what I suspected tombie, out of curiosity how do you know for sure?
