I was looking at this bar and was thinking it originally started as a ARB bar, that has had the wings cut of an re-welded higher to suit the body lift.
Just a thought anyhow.

Looks good though.

MIght have to ask ATS4x4 (think thats it). He may know. As I think it was his shop that built it. I believe it is 100% made to order.
As originally it had tube wings. But then the team got sponsered by ARB. So they had to make it look like an ARB product.

Close to correct Turps, and thanks, and we didnt see you tonight [shed nite :-)]

I had some made earlier days, and Trent bought my old short wb mav, when he swapped all the bits over from it onto his, then sold mine off again stock many moons ago, and one of the things done after that was the guy who used to do all my steel fab made those bars for me, and he did one for Trent, and one for Jeff Redman as well.

My design was the centre plate welded into an ARB bar, to stop them twisting the bar with a modded highmount winch, but they wanted the bar all the way across, and then Trent had to mod his for the ARB sponsorship, as you stated.

I knew it was sometihng like that.
I tried to get it copyd by a local engineering firm about 2yrs ago. But it turned out a little different. And as it turns out not real strong. The design they built for me was no where near as strong as the Design that Leen and redman are running.
As I have seen some of the things that treent has driven into at the winch challenges.

As for shed nite. Well didnt knock of work till 6pm and Bendigo is to far from Geelong. One day I will get there.
