here is a series of 3 videos which cover the install of the ARB bar onto the front of the old Paj.
Installing a bullbar was not something I had done before and cutting into the pajero was not something I was taking lightly.
Whilst it took longer than expected, I'm very happy with the results.
There were a few stages that had me pausing and thinking but at each of those steps I managed to make it through.
Those moments can cause the pucker to tighten up though.
Of course everything relaxes when you figure out a plan.
It's pretty labour intensive and I don't think I would tackle this in a single day. It's more a weekend job. A long weekend would be even better to take your time.
Instructions were a bit of a mix from good to rubbish. There are not enough pics to guide you and to give you confidence that you have it right before moving in for the kill.
Lots of image searching on the net was of some assistance.
I tried to cover all the bits that I had questions about in my head when considering going ahead with a self install.
A mate said he would have happily paid the $400 odd for it to be installed. .....but where is the fun in that.
It's not every day you take to your truck with a jigsaw and grinder.
Oh and get some mates over to help with the lifting etc.
Some pics first because I know people love pics
how it arrives
With its guts all over the place
required help
get said help to test the support brackets by putting his sizable head under the bullbar
fitted up
Full Monty
If anyone can tell me how to succesfully embed these I would be much appreciated.
Also thank to WhipIT for his pics in the TJM thread. I know they weren't for me but they helped.
and the videos for anyone looking to play along at home
Part 1
Part 2
Part 3
