Outer Limits 4x4 Board

went to ARB today, looking into a bull bar and they tell me they dont make em to suit,

you guys with coilys, what are you running?

any help appreciated,

Here is my 96 coily with ARB winch bar.

what is the bar off, and what mods did you have to do for it to fit? looks like a bit of a gap between the bar and body?

if ya can make ya own. we did.


also are the chasis diferent from a WT to a coily. id have thought most WT bars would fit.

i got no probs in makin one, just lookin for a aftermarket bar as it saves time and effort

the ARB bars should fit, however the Coily front grill slopes back slightly so you will get a small gap. They don't look quite right but they do the job fine. You get used to how it looks, most people wouldn't know. I had an Aluminian wide track bar on my coiler.

The bar in the above pic looks like it slopes back like it should. I would imagine the gap is from a body lift.

well we test fitted an ARB wide track bar this arvo, suits the body lines, mounting matches, all be need to do is a minor mod so it will clear the bottom of the grille properly,

pics to come

I woulda thought you would of just fabbed 1 up Shawn ....although I didnt build the 1 above on my old coily ....but I wanted the ARB style without the hoops .......(above bar fabbed from 3mm m/s)

nice lookin rig A1 can u post up some more photos of it for us?

That's a 4wd systems leaf spring sierra bar.

Ahh well there you go!

The guy I got it off said it was an arb bar. In fact I even have a reciept for an arb bar.

The gap is from the body lift.

i just got quoted $1340 for a 'stage 2' alloy bar for the zuk... No steps or rails, just the bar!

Um, for that kind of money i could have ~10 goes at fabbing up one (even if i stuffed it 9 times, i would still have money to burn!)

The wreckers will be where i am heading for my next bullbar!

I've got an East Coast Bullbars (ECB) Adventure alloy winch bar on the front of my coily. It's alloy but it's at least as tough as steel without the weight. I've got a Warn M6000 winch hanging off the front, I do a lot of four wheel driving, I've been know to push trees and rocks out of the way with it and I've never had any issues with it at all.

Hope this helps.

well we ended up pickin up a Wide Track winch bar, we gave it a bit of a nip with the drinder, and bolted on pretty well, lines up nicely as well,

sister is happy with it, also fitted up UHF and simple pioneer CD player for her, as old tape deck was playing up,

will get pics of the bar up soon

Just to bring back a dead thread, while poking around for a winch bar for my Coily I came across this http://www.irvinbullbars.com.au/cgi-bin ... .jpg&id=55 so thought I might chuck it in here for future reference.

I make ones just like my car for other people if anyone is interested send me a pm.

they are supplied complete with all mounting brackets, bolts, instrcuctions and are painted in 2pac black paint. But i can get painted whatever colour you want for extra charge.

sam

thats what the look like, except they have recovery loops and better paint now, i have made a second version since that one.

well i know its been a while, but finally found this thread again so here are the pics,






2 of the pics show the minor shaping we did around the grille area, used factory bolt holes in the bar and chassis, chassis has crush tubes for extra strength

if anyone is interested in coily bars that will bolt straight up pm me for some cad pics.
