sure an ARB is possible for you to get in the USA....all you have to do is buy it and have it shipped to you, be expesive though. Perhaps a USA ARB dealer will get one for you too...worth a shot. Or copy it and build your own...

Pic from underneath.....

This shows the "extended steel strap" I added for more strength under load.

Ive stalled the winch motor several times now and the bar has never moved as yet......

Its a Warn 9000 XLD

These 2 shots are also from underneath.

I started with a basic ARB bar and modded the hell out of it to the point that little is left of the original bar.

The entire bottom of the bar is now all 1/4 plate !, about the only thing left of the original bar is the corner pipe work !

from the front ......

The bar carries .... 2 Lightforces, 2 fog lights, 1 UHF ariel, 1 CB radio ariel, 1 AM/FM ariel, Warn winch, and is setup for an "A" frame towing rig via the 2 large eye bolts.

It has survived several big hits including unmovable objects that one "bumps" into when wheelin ( trees !!! ), has also totaled a boot lid :oops: ..... this was not my fault !!! :finger: ..... silly bugga backed into d patrol at the supamarket !..... I was most upset at the chip of paint he took off of the bar :rofl:
