Need help with identification of Bullbar

Post by bugshifter »

Can any of you help me in identifying the manufacturer of this bullbar it fit a LN series Hilux.

Or someone in Brisbane around the Acacia Ridge area the can make some brakets up for me so i can fit it as it has none.

The light holes look similar to mine, that would make it a comercial ARB Bullbar.

But after I was told that I also found a sticker that confirmed it, I guess as you have painted yours there was no sticker & if there were it's long since been removed or covered.

Thanks for your help. I bought the bar from a wreckers and it had a few various coats of paint over it with no MFR sticker anywhere. But it was when i got it home i realized it had no mounting brackets. So now just trying to find where to go to first.
Cheers for the replies :D

Short of actually taking it to someone like ARB or TJM and asking them to help you could try some of the metal fabricating companies around the area, the only problem is there are just so many of them that they tend to specialise in different areas and often don't want to be bothered with fiddly small jobs - possibly anther post asking for metal fabricators in the Brisbane area (south side) would be a good idea, possibly post it up on a few forums.
I know there are several people on this forum that do just that type of work but to date I have not made use of them.

Surely the wreckers would still have the actual vehicle it came off? Best bet that that's where the brackets are. Might be worth asking if it is.
Don't take life too seriously...it isn't permanent.

Wreckers were not interested and just said a flat no they were not there.
So anyway moving right along I'm getting some brackets made up tomorrow so all good in the end.
Oh and TJM have no old stock and do all the Fab work offshore since the warehouse fire last year so they told me.
Thanks again for all the replys

If its an ARB, it will have a welded on plate under the passenger wing stamped with the manufacturing model, date, and vehicles it suits- both my ARB winch bar and sidesteps and rear steps have these.

Plus ARB mounts are solidly welded in as part of the bar and not a bolt on affair!
