The rear bar looks good, but will it have swing way tyre carrier option?

That exhaust isn't going to last long sitting there all exposed like that.

From what i've been told ARB wont even start making the Aust frt bar til mid to late aug, tho this may come forward (doubt it) or be moved back depending on priority workload (knowing how high the demand for the new 70 series stuff is???)

I work at ARB, and I spoke with the production manager yesterday... the word is the front bar is going into production early next week to be ready in 2-3 weeks.

There isn't a swing away carrier as larger tyres can fit on the standard carrier.

The US bars are different from the AUS bars, so there won't be a "1st batch going to the US" as that's already happened. US bars aren't ABS, and they have a protruding recovery point which is illegal over here.

Any idea on price as I spoke to my local ARB guys on friday and they said the first lot was probably going to the US as it always does and couldn't give me a price.

Thanks for the inside info. Did they give you any info on the fog light? will there be holes? won't there be hole? And its frustrating that there is still no price.......................

This sux, I wanted the swing away carrier for larger tyre and because it will take all the weight and strain off the tail gate.

I went to the main Adelaide ARB shop today to enquire and the response was "We have a part number but have no idea when they will get here as no one has been told. They should definately be here within 5 months though. Can't give you a price yet either!!"

In other words no one knows s^!t!!

I am now ordering an AEV bar!!

Anyone else want in and do a bulk order to Aus and get discount?
