True, True.. Only reason I was avoiding the idea of drilling of holes is that the brit part sales man advised me not to due to the bumpers being powder coated and any modifications/ cracks in the paint would mean it would cause rust to form rapidly.. that his words not mine, I know you can paint over things.

No idea, I'm getting the local guy to build me one from 6mm plate so it'll be better built than a mass produce ARB and made how I want it. Ebay is the best bet though, saw one go for £250 in as new cond

Wouldn't buy new, or ARB, I'd go to the local metalworkers and ask them to build something to the same spec (will cost a lot less)

Not that its a landy but someone at the local just got a full ARB spec bullbar/winch bumper for about £500, that was built from 6mm steel, proper tubing with 4mm walls and all done in 3 days to spec

This was for an L200 which is far curvier so more effort was needed, a landy should cost less as it'll be a few less man hours

More so with arb think your paying for the brand as much as the kit
