Post by vanzbrown »

Anyone have a gander at the New ARB Emu Dakar 60series show vehicle. They had a feature in this months 4x4trader.

Pretty slick looking unit. Complete restoration and custom ARB fitout.

I think the new one has a 2H with a Safari turbo on it. Also custom front and rear bumpers, but I guess this means they are custom because it has a 2" body lift because it has 35" tyres on 2" raised OME suspension. And the leather interior sounds shmick.

Did it say in that article that it had a body lift. I couldnt even find wat lift springs they put in there (2in, etc)


The new one is black, with arb/emu dakar decals all over it. The winch bar looks like its been customed to fit the hi mount also.

I don't think the article said, but I figured they put on a 2" body lift to clear the 35s. I wouldn't imagine that they would use custom springs, but could be wrong. Anyways, it looks great!

It only has the Daker springs in it because there trying to push these springs. I thought it might of had a body lift in to to clear 35's. Would be great if they made a limited run of custom front & rear bars to fit the body lift. I reckon they would probably sell a few i know I would because they look good :armsup: :armsup: :armsup:
