ARB Bar for MY14 out soon

[LandyAndy]

I got an email today from ARB,it seems the MY14 ARB bars are available soon.
Good Morning Andrew,



Hope you had a good weekend. I have looked through my system this morning and can confirm

At this stage now I have a part number for the bull bar. This would indicate to me that the engineers

In Melbourne have seen a vehicle now and the development for the bull bar is well under way.



At this stage I don’t have any pricing on this item as while a bar is so early on in its development

It is hard to gauge if any more materials or other items are needed to make a complete unit.

I can however place a back order in the system for you which will secure one to be fitted to your

Land Rover. As soon as pricing in released I can then be in contact with you, you can then let me

Know if you are still happy to proceed.


Kindest Regards

Thanks Andy.
As an aside, I was in Opposite Lock in Bunbury last week and they said they could do an OL bar for a MY14 D4. This was only salesman speak and I haven't confirmed it with them. Another option?

Cheers,

I spoke to an OL dealer north of the river.A couple of pre my14 bars have been fitted to my14 D4s with modification.The reccomendation from OL to bloke I spoke to said not to do any more until the my14 specific bars were released.

Congrats Andy. Any idea on what it weighs?

[LandyAndy]

No,nor what it costs.
There is in reality only the choice between ARB and OL.
Wont be fitting a winch at this time,just wanted the option there for later.

Andy, I got my bar installed after hitting a 'roo (sigh) so it was handled by Lombardi brothers as part of a panel beating job (actually a head light replacement job as no panels were affected, just the placky bumper).

Anyway Lombardi is Barbagallo's preferred panel beater, and Lombardi's preferred installer for roo bars is I think an outfit called west coast bullbars but ring Lombardi and ask for the name. I was happy with the install and Lombardi is a high end panel beater who would have high standards in any work he subbed out for a client.

I was all willing like you to do the running around and ordering the bar to keep costs down but this company said don't bother, we will get it quicker and cheaper than you can. ARB told me 4 weeks and they had the bar much quicker. I know your case is different as you have vbeen waitlisted for a bar that does not exist yet but I thought I'd pass this info on. There are some people on here who were not happy with their install, the gaps mainly and vibrations.

Andrew - as James said.

Mine was installed by ARB in Osborne Park - sent there by Barbagallo. I'm happy with the bar, but the gaps are a bit excessive. If I was fitting it, I would have cut the wheel arch flares about half an inch longer than they did, and then probably also finished off with some decent rubber trim as I've seen in pics of others' vehicles on here.

Mine's the deluxe winch bar as well - and I haven't fitted a winch yet.

But for what I use it for - I'm not too bothered. It does the job (hit a decent size roo on the way home last week and not a mark).

[LandyAndy]

Cheers Brian,I will ask them to be dilligent when cutting to keep gaps at a minimum.
Ordered a set of Fyrlyts from Todd today.
PS,visit Clark Rubber they sell all sorts of rubber trims,you may find something suitable.

Yep - been meaning to drop into a Clark Rubber store for ages to see if they had anything that would fit. The Clark Rubber store in Kal has shut down, so I'll have to keep my eye out for one down here.
