Are you sure those sliders will handle rocks? I have dents in the underside of these... Albeit no bends yet...

i hope they do if not ill take them off and do a redesign i still have more bracing and hi-lift points wich will also increase the step strength dramaticly i just need to find the time to finish them now that bub is here

Now that is a very good price
You can get the sahara bar look by buying a normal ARB winch bar and lopping the hoops off
Can't wait to see it

CHEERS TIM.

thought about it and that was plan A however i would than have to lop the centre hoop chrome dip it and weld it back on and with a standard bar it would look weird without the plastic caps on the front, and it would also be hard to get the sahara light provisions right, this way the hoop is done the plastic caps are on the light provisions are there and its ready for a low mount winch to

well im going to tell me secrets a bit at a time its a bit of a tease i know but thats the whole idea muahaha.....

so the bar...its not of a disco 2 if thats what anyone was thinking

and something im excited about is the foglight spots are the big round ones
not the ones in the black plastic and with a little jazfab there will be a set of lightforce 140's in there wih yellow filters


does anyone have a pic of the mounts on an arb bar for a d1

well progress has been a little stalled with our bub now here....
and now the missus has given me the boot
so ill be moving into my new place on the 10th april where ill have a single garage that ill be setting up a workshop in, until now ive had a garage with no acess to power so when i wanted to do work i had to go get all the gear and take it up to the house as the garage i had was a few streets away once i move into the new place it will be full steam ahead night and day, been looking at the bar and i think if it is to big height wise ill be able to take some of it what ya think

Sorry to here the misses has given you the boot but good to see see your still progresing.
Do you still need photos of D1 ARB bar light mounts etc as I can take some pics and post for you if you like pluss any others you need.
Cheers Allan
