Will take some pictures tomorrow and post for you.
I like the ARB bar and it takes some good hits from trees and roos only ever had to replace blinkers and front plastic spoiler after I hit 3 roos in one night.

Hi Jeep Boy,
Pictures as promised.
The outside plate is 4mm and mounted with three bolts and has a washer welded on at the recovery point one plate from back to front and strengthened by bar work.
The Inside fin plate grabs two of these bots and stops just in front of radiator support.
(plate each side of Chassis rail) Same each side.
Passenger inside

Driverside Front



Driverside Inside

Light Mount had to space my light to fit.


Hope these help
Cheers Allan.

thanks heaps for that really appreciate it, been looking a lot at the bar and to make it fit and suit i will have to take about 100mm of each end, make new mounts to fit, and it will prob drop to low to suit the disco so i will have to take some of the bottom, i think i might be better of selling it making some coin in the process and settle for a standard d1 bar, and i also need the cash to do heaps of repairs to the disco

list of things i need to do

rear balljoint
all bushes
swivel hubs
valve clearances
timing belt
leaky gearbox
leaky engine

so i think ill sell the bar fund some needed maintnace and come up with anather idea for a bar

What bar have you been looking at modifing, as you should be able to pick up a second hand ARB bar from wreckers /dismantlers and the like.

When I fit Flexi flares to mine and some mud tyres I will be modifying my bar slightly to suit as it works well when somthing hits you.
Strange how roos jump into the front of your car.

ok ok the bar is of a pajero there ive spilt the beans lol, thing is the pajero has a much deeper front end than a disco and i just dont think the bar will suit unless i pretty much remake it using those materials, although would prob cost $400 to buy the materials to make a bar, but im pretty sure ill sell it and get a disco bar its not the bar that i want but its a lot less stuffing around

well i dont have a great deal to tell about other than ive decided to sell the bar and just get a disco bar

and i move into the new place so ill be able to set up the garage and cut loose ill be finishing the sliders first im going to change them a little ill post details and pics soon, than im going to move on to setting up the cargo area than the front bar will get attacked

Hi jeep_boy, have a look at the TJM bars, i have one on my disco and i much prefer the look of them to the ARB one.

.
