Does series 1,2 and 3 all mount up the same? EG will one from any model fit anymodel?? Will one from a series 1 fit my 03 TD6?

Thanks.

It's not gona fit.
series III,staring 10/01 has a different grill.
ARB had to modify their bullbars to fit series III.
They said it would fit but it would badly rub grill on a bar

kewl, weird but a call to TJM and ARB say they will... why is it so hard to get a simple answer.
suppose trial and error is the only option..

I think you'll find it was Series IV that needed to be modified, Series III should be fine.

Also, according to the ARB price list, before 10/04 are all good, after 10/04 a different bar is required.

the cross member in front of the grill goes forward on the series III where as it goes backwards on the series I & II.
Dunno if it effects the ARB/TJM bars but it effected my FAT bar.

there are some slight chassis variations on 05 model, which can play havoc fitting an earlier bar, with the crush cans out the front.

I bought one of the first series III Patrols and had to wait for three months till ARB redisigned their Sahara bar to fit series III.(or that's at least what they told me)
