sierra arb bar

Post by andy1517 »

Guys,
just purchased a arb bar for my swb 94 sierra.
I have a 2" body lift, and the bar has been modded for a 2" lift.
Does anyone have any pics of the mounting points?

I want some pics of the actual mounting points. As mine have been hacked off, and therefore i need to mod some up and would like a starting point.

so you have a 2" body lift and the bar has been modded for a 2" body lift so I still don't see why you have to adapt anything

because my mounts on my car have been modded.
Therefore I would like to return it to 'standard' when i fit the arb bar.

Hey Andy, the end of the sierra chassis is 50 x 100 box or something close. The mounts were 4 holes drilled into the end of the chassis rail about 10mm in from the end. two bolts on each side straight through. The mounts on the bar used to fit half inside the rail and half outside if I recall correctly. I used crush tube inside the rail to make sure I could tighten up the mounting bolts sufficiently and give it a bit of extra strength.

here's a pic of the standard mounting on the end of the chassis rail.

so you want the bar to sit 2" lower than the body which is lifted?

I'm not being a troublemaker I just have no idea what you are trying to do. Your explanations just aren't making sense. Your mounts for what?

grimbo - he's saying the front of his chassis has been modified and the bar wont bolt up anymore as the original mounting points arent there - so he needs to restore his chassis to factory so it will bolt up.

He's saying the mounts on the chassis are not stock and he wants to put them back to stock so he can fit the bar.

there should be 2 holes for bolts at each circle.

i can take a better photo if needed, but its cold out and i dont want negative meat.

oh and the side 2 mounts are not all that important. but i have a feeling you know that already so im typing for no reason

right get it now or maybe be easier and safer to mod the bar if the chassis has been cut or modified as you don't want to keep modding the chassis as they aren't the strongest to begin with.

andy1517,

I think everyone now understands what the problem is. Can you post some photographs of your chassis before you modify it or the bar any more. It might be worth posting some pics of the back of the bar too.

Reason being - there's very little material to put back into the front of the chassis. The stock holes at the chassis end aren't strong enough for winching, which is why I recall Dank saying his bar was modified to add strength by picking up the front crossmember too.

The ARB can't be used for winching once the original bumper brackets have been removed, and these have always been removed to fit larger tyres.

Steve.

I will post pics soon.
I will organise to get some new points welded onto my chassis as I have a winch to put into it.
I will post some pics of the actual bar, as I am intrigued about these bumper brackets that are removed.

I will get this bar strengthened through using some brackets as outriggers.
Thanks guys
