Beaver plate fitted... Rear end needs??

Cobez · Jan 1, 2013

Hey fellas, well i fitted up my ARB beaver plate yesterday and got rid of that ugly factory chrome bumper. Still getting used to the look of it.

But the rear end needs something under the beaver plate / license plate.

Suggestions?

Tow bar would be a good start, one off the RX sits higher i believe.

Cobez · Jan 1, 2013

That's what i was thinking. Do the RX ones bolt up to the same points on each side with the 3 bolts? Was keen for a towbar as i will throw a recovery hitch into it.

ourd40 · Jan 1, 2013

Im sure they would bolt up the same

Cobez · Jan 1, 2013

Hopefully that's the case. Oh Nissan will be making a few bucks off me this weekend. Towbar, diff oil and i finally managed to locate 5 of those pain in the arse fine thread bolts that hold the factory front tow point on.

Thanks mate will look into it!

Be sure to throw a pic up after you put the towbar on, ive been thinking of doing the same.

Cobez · Jan 1, 2013

Will do! I'll make sure i inspect the towbar first and match those mounting points up.

Hi mate, i was thinking about removing the rear step also, did you buy the rear panel direct from arb? Ive searched on google but nothing come up?

Cobez · Jan 5, 2013

Sure did. Its not listed on their website at all. Doesnt even mention it. I got mine from ARB Kilsyth here in Vic. Another bloke on here "Mannix" got his from an ARB in W.A i believe.

Cheers mate, will give my local arb a call.

Well priced for an ARB product too. 88 bucks. In saying that, its only a piece of steel but it saves the ****ing around of fabbing one yourself.

Only took me about an hour to make mine up.

Yeh I know. I've learnt to accept it for now. Building or buying a pretty rear bar is beyond my means at the monent, but I need to leave it on for towing the boat.

Cobez let me know how you go with the RX tow bar bud

Cobez · Jan 7, 2013

Yeah no probs mate! Will be a few weeks till i go buy one, got a few things coming up at the moment weekend wise
