I cut the complete middle section out of an ARB deluxe bar to get mine to fit. Pics below.

Fathillbilly, can the fairleads be raised a little higher in that application (not the familiar with the Highmount setup)

Is their a body lift in that app?

On the lowest extremities of the bar pictured is it lower than a ARB bar?

I can see from side on that the Chassis rails are covered by the front of bar but there appears to be exposed inner guard from the front is this vunerable to fontal intrusion of things like a flicked up log?

Nice looking bar though just asking a few questions to satisfy my curiosity.

the bar is designed with a hawse fairlead in mind, but in answer to your question no not really

as usual it's my own vehicle so somethings get neglected, but what you can see is part of the front skirt which does nothing, the idea is to slice it off so there is nothing between the front of the vehicle and the tyre

There's no cradle as such on mine - the H/mount just bolts to the front of the bar.

I tried to get some close up photos last night for you but I couldn't move the bar into the appropriate position with my knee in the brace at the moment. I've got mates coming down to visit this weekend so I'll borrow their muscles to give me a hand to move it and I'll get some close ups of the centre section.
