Any Idea why no bull bar with ACC??

Because of the location and function of the distance sensor on the front. Design us a compliant bar that works with the ACC and I'll be at the head of the queue .

I have an ECB bar on my WH as far as I'm concerned it is a better bar than the ARB.

My next door neighbour has just put one on his WK2 and it really suits the vehicle. They have integrated tow hooks on the WK bar.

Hi Dave, mine's the Laredo model without ACC, but still happy if you need access to mine for the mount point measurement.

It's an ARB sponsored article from one of the magazine writers on the importance of fitting a good quality bullbar to your 4WD particularly if you're touring outback Australia. Actually a very good article where they focus on their original design to protect your vehicle from roadside animals. Exactly the point of this forum thread, just a shame I can't currently buy one from them.
Since Sam from ARB has chosen to participate in this thread, any timing update from ARB now there is good evidence of a market? Late 2012 or still mid to late 2013?
