Pete,
The pictures do not do the bar justice, wheel it outside and take some if you can. This is THE best bar i have seen to mount a Warn Himount to a sierra.
Very conservative, perhaps understated BLING

shucks, thanks mate
I am very happy with it, I did it all myself, Mick (ljxreem) did nothing but drink coffee and call his stoner mates all the time
I was after something very minimal but the hi-mount dictated it needed a bit of beef, if you look at the side on shot you may pick up the way I mounted it.
I did the narrow track RUF at the same time and for the chassis extention first we welded the extention on (aprox80mm) then welded a fish plate on the outside of the chassis and used the bar mounting bracket to plate the other side which is bolted through the bracket the chassis and the fish plate with crush tubes in the centre.
There are 4 bolts a side, 2 bolts through the chassis and 2 through the extention

ARB bar would be nicer if it didnt have the hoops around the headlights i reckon =)

You are right about the air, time will tell if it is a problem.

Droopy's is certainly simple and practical for mounting the winch, but what about indicators, parkers? Don't they have to be there for rego?

Yes they do, Hella make a strip LED that is about 12mm wide and about 180mm long and I plan to recess them into the body under the head lights, as for the parkers, I may have to put some leds on the front of the bar with some protection.

How about these for park lights?
They are about the same height as the long indicators.
Its what I will be using once I make a new bar for the wifes zook.
