Thinking of Chopping My ARB Bar

[JEEPCHIK]

Well, I'll be taking delivery of my Warn front bar this week sometime, so you will all be able to see how much coverage the bar actually offers.From the pics I have seen of them in the US they do over a fair bit of tyre coverage.And as for ADR'S, well I have more trust in a steel bullbar saving my a$$ than an airbag which could malfunction at anytime.But that's just me

Zak, why don't you just trim the ends, not completely remove them.I really like the Hanson bars although there is nothing wrong with LoD stuff either. How bad are you tyres smacking into the ARB bar the way it is anyway

the rugged ridge is the best alternative full width on road 6 bolts and you have a stubby i take the wings off mine all the time

this is what i am talking about



dont take me wrong Warn is a good bumper but trust me i have seen it personally on a JK and it doesnt cover the front tyre only 1% maybe

Well, I can only go by JKkat's WARN front bar and unless it's an optical illusion it looks like the wheels are pretty well protected.

I haven't seen a JK in the flesh with the WARN bar fitted, so I don't know exactly how much of the wheels it actually does cover.

I could be wrong, it's happened before and it will happen again.

I watched the video and I can see your problem.I know this would be a big a$$ job to do, but would it worth removing the ARB bar and seeing how far forward the wheel will go, so it would give you a better idea of what you really need to combat the problem

Great looking bar Tiny! Where did you buy it? Also, your grill mesh, where'd you get that .... that's a must have for me, even if I have to dismantle the entire front to get it in there!

You can get that mesh from Supercrap, cost from memory was $40.

Cheers JeepChik, I'll check out the prerty gear knobs whilst I'm there

Oh, re your pup chewing your car ... mine just ate the leather cushions on my lounge & after research found a dog deterrent called "Bitter Apple" that supposedly stops them in their tracks & it doesn't stain/mark.
