The best people for you to talk to are Toyhatsu and SimplyPV. They are both from the US and would be able to help you.

i havent seen any bull bars made commerically in the u.s. only ones i have seen were the factory a-bars. from what i have seen so far, all bull bars have been custom made? i had mine made. not so sure about kents (toyhatsu) so hopefully he'll post in here with more info?

Mine is fabbed also. I believe that there are several places that sell ARB products, besides the air locker, on the internet located in the US. You might contact one of them and see if they would order one for you. We don't have any roo's to bash over here :D The only other thing is to try some metal fabrication shops.

How much did that indicator mounting system cost? Are they the original lenses, if so were they hard to fit?

Haha...yes they are genuine Daihatsu. I have been meaning to weld some tabs on there and screw them on. I didn't use that cheap plastic electrical tape but went all out and bought and bought the expensive cloth kind :finger: Hey, it works and they are functional.

This bull bar/winch mount/brush guard is a aftermarket unit mounted on my 1988 Dodge Raider. There doesn't appear to be a manufacturer's name anywhere on it. The basic design is very versatile and it could be made to fit many different vehicles by altering the mounts. There is a shop in Oakwood, GA who told me he could duplicate this mount for about $400.00. Welding it together rather than making it bolt together would make it a bit cheaper and faster to produce.

Email me if you want his contact info, or go to the vendor section of www.southernjeeps.org and look for BigCheese or CW Design.

got mine done for $250 u.s. but then again a good buddy of mine was a welder and only charged me $10 an hour... used 1/4" thick steel tubing for the job. ran it into trees and the like and only suffered paint scratches! :shock:
