Picked up a Jimny bar a while back for a mate, turns out he doesn't want/need it now so for $150 a lil chop here and there and well see how I go, this is what I want to do; 1 - Cut off all the top crap 2 - Cut 55mm out of the top half 3 - Cut the bottom lip off Then go from there 
Might need to cut more in the middle to fit over the intercooler, Let me know what you think. Kyzer |

Yeah I always thought they looked a little bench seat looking, will be trying to keep it a lot more snug at the front, will try and at least halve the amount it usually sticks out by Also will be keeping the recess where the badge sits and grinding all welds on the inside and out dead smooth, want it too look just like one ARB made like that (can then just tell some that its a custom ARB bar) Might need four or so hole saw holes in the middle or a slot, might be a bit boring and plain Kyzer |

there's an oxymoron, nothing ARB do would be considered 'custom'. |

New bar is well on it's way, it's just tacked together here though it's all welded up now, just file finishing it smooth 
New 15 x 8 -25 rims, offset looks heaps better now, also found some 2nd hand black chrome wheel nuts to suit 
Placing a bash plate under the cooler part to Kyzer |

 Looks awesome but with your skills you could have built that bar as it looks nothing like an arb bar lol...

I think I may have seen it yesterday on Ney Road towing a trailer. I was heading in the other direction in a Red Jimny and I'm sure we gawked at each other. |
