ARB commercial Bull Bar NT

[denmonkey]

Hey guys,



my soon to be fitted arb commercial bar has arrived and I'm a tad excited. I'm up to cutting the bumper section. wish me luck . If anyone has pics of theirs where it fits under the headlights, I'd appreciate pics to make sure I'm getting it right.

I was planning on picking it up in the back of the paj (only front seats) but a mate said it was never going to happen.

He was right.






seriously more box that is needed I think.

Had I unpacked it, I think I could have gotten away with it.

I had 1800 to play with, it was 2000. so close, but no cigar.



Anyway. here is the usual vid giving you a look at whats in the box and a bit of a surprise for me regarding weight.



If you plan on watching the video, post up a weight that you think the bar is before watching it.

I am curious what others think they weigh out of the box.

50kg is my guess. Now I'll find out for sure

Ok, i thought there would be more guesses.


For what it's worth, there does not seem to be any definitive info on the net and dealers will not provide a weight...so I'm told.

Net weights suggest anywhere from around 40kg to 80kg.

So, I can't find an exact weight but in the video, I lift the bar with one hand.

So I would say this is somewhere around or even under 30kg for just the bare bar.

Add the brackets etc and it will obviously be more.



Here she is. I shot lots of footage of the install and took lots of pics.

It will take a while but I'll throw up the install vid soon enough.

If anyone is looking to do the same, more than happy to answer questions or post specific pics if I have them.

Great video. I have seen the product release for the nx pajero bar. That bar is 53kg approximate fitted weight. I would think that your bar would be similar. Also keep in mind that you would take about 5-10kg off the front with the bumper cut.

Thanks mate.



I reckon I'd call it 40-45 with bits on.

Carrying it out with the winch installed was definitely a 2 person job though.



It's interesting that it takes them so long to get the new bar out.

I can't see there being too much difference in them..Would be interested to know though
