Hi
For your interest when I first fitted my ARB bar I didn’t like the look of the open center section so I installed a grill off a Hilux Summit bar (About $42 from ARB) on the GC bar.
It did require being cut in Height and length to fit
Regards

Yes that gap in the front is a bit ugly. I would love to do the same, could you give a bit more detail on how that grill fits? Thanks

Fixed the false alarms for me!

I’ll take it back to ARB on a Saturday morning and let them deal with it. Worked perfectly before they touched it and they Charged me labour for the wiring harness install for the upgraded fog lights, which I wasn’t quoted for. I do think they are an expensive bar but what do you do....

The sensor might have been damaged during removal.

When the grill is cut to fit it sits between the bumerets and bull bar and can’t fall out but is loose
So I used self-adhesive cable tie mounts onto the center struts and cable ties thru the original mounting hole to security
(If you were keen you could make a couple of bracket up)

Thanks Dazza. Handy info but right now attempting to run the UHF aerial cable through to the footwell... what a pain in the ass!
I will look into the grill at a later date but I’m still tossing up whether to get a winch or not.
