ARB Rear Protection bar

[RustyNav09]

Hey all

Wondering whether people with the arb rear bars are happy with the product and could post up some pictures of them fitted to there navs. Preferably a long tub d22 so i can see gaps between bar and body work and how far they sit out from the tub etc. Any pictures or info greatly appreciated.

Even if you have the TJM style bar i wouldnt mind some pics of that aswell. This is next on my list and i like the arb bar cause of its recovery eyelets and its build quality.

Thanks

I don't know why it wouldn't fit your model based on this

Yeh mate I think they use one bar but put 6holes in each to be able to use the one bar for all the navs

Hey mate. I'm pretty sure it's already done. From what I can remember is they extended the existing mounting bracket and added the extra holes so the bar suited both models. I could be incorrect and could be thinking of the arb bar. I'm yet to see either bars on a long tub model up close so time will tell

I did a quick search russ tjm bar d22 there it was pics and all looks good on a 2011 model same as mine.

Got the chance to drop into tjm and ask. They have no release date on the tjm bar. They have made a prototype and its is being tested for adr complaince and we should know shortly.

Lets hope they hve it released before the 4wd show here in brisbane or arb will be getting my business lol

It doesnt look tuff mate. Thats a mighty bend. Im guessing it took a fair hit from something. The guy at a local arb stockist had one on his triton and it had taken a few hits but only taken the paint off

straight into a tree infact.
and not a scratch on the tub!!

tied it back to the tree and pulled it straight

Hey rusty, Patrol custom 4x4 at Beenleigh did it I remember seeing it on their Facebook page. It did look good, but there custom d22 bar also looks bloody good.

I did find it eventually on there page. My fb kept crashing. Still unsure on the tjm or arb bar

Like you said before Rusty, the TJM bar is due to be released any day now.
I too inquired about it around October last year.
I am happy to wait for it.
