X2 post pics of rear then we'll Know straight away!

its not a nissan bar its the wrong uprights for nissan

parents had a 60series with exactly the same lookin bar, factory toyota (arb) winch bar if i remember correctly...

I reckon 60 Series or old Patrol as close second.

sorry to throw a spanner in the works but it looks almost identicle to my old mans early F-250 bullbar he had a few years back, the top of the bullbar sloping outwards and the bottom sloping inwards could match an early F truck ( or bronco? ) front end almost perfectly

yeah, was going to say it looks like many a bull bar seen on the F-trucks

rear of bullbar as requested.....

ford econovan!

Still can't tell I can't see the bolt pattern I saved it & zoomed in but still
couldn't see Side shot of mounts would be better?Looks OLD ARB to me especialy the way it wraps
around the chassis rails typical ARB At this stage I'm thinkin' 60 series-ish? Post more pics please!

I think you're close. I reckon it's an ARB made bar sold as a toyota optional winch bar. They had a different design and weren't as nicely finished - they were designed to be cheaper to make.

I'd still say 60 series.

Steve.

I still say 70 series.

what i said earlier 60 series even more so i seen the back

one more shot of the back mounts - just to be sure

So is 60 series the consensus.... from the outerlimits brains trust ??

I havent seen a 60 mount, but I still reckon it looks like a 75 bar. The measurement that you gave between the chassis rails is between 70 series (630mm) and 60 series (676mm) although when you add metal thickness it would apear to be closer to the 60 size.

mq/mk's are 765mm out side to out side of chassis rail's, the rails are 85mm tall x 59mm wide, from top of the bonet to the bottom of the rails is 650mm (no body lift) and about 1650mm wide gaurd to gaurd...

looks like that bar is made for a few differnt models as the mounts look like there bolted on to the bar??? but ive seen a few on 7?'s yota utes.

I just measured up my 60. The chassis rails are approximately 100x60, but the distance between the inside of the rails is approximately 676mm and midi has said.

I don't think its a 60 because 60's have the bolt holes on the outside of the chassis rails this bar has the bolt holes on the inside

maybe they used a through bolt?

Mystery bar has all 3 bolt holes in line, 60 has top hole offset

update:

The 75 series has the 3 bolt holes in line for there mounts.

And the chassis is about the right width (mounts can be bolted a bit wider - which makes them spot on the right width for the 75 series)


Bar is now up for sale....

Looks like my old troopy bar. 93 troopy is a 75 isn't it?

With that bar on, I rammed the troopy into the back of a little Pastie car one wet afternoon when she jammed on her brakes - it had a boot before I started, but the car ended at the back of the rear seats afterwards (18 inches shorter). I wiped HER paint flakes off MY bull bar, and drove away with not even a scratch of my bar's paint job and no damage at all. Niiiiice.
