Gday,
I have a 2004 HDJ79 ute and am downgrading? to a 2001 troopy (non turbo) due to baby arrival and am wondering will my ARB bullbar, siderails and steps, also ARB full
suspension kit (springs, coils, shocks) fit on the troopy? Any help greatly appreciated.
Cheers

They arent that interested since I will be swapping the gear myself. Usual story bring it in and we'll look at tit. Was hoping a mechanic may have a catalogue or parts list to confirm parts will interchange.

Yep all the bar work will fit any model from 2006 down to the first of this series released in about 1983 ish.
The
suspension should fit as they are both the front coiled 78/79 series.

Bullbar and
suspension will swap over fine. I'm not sure about the siderails as the 79series has a longer wheelbase than the 78series.

Try
http://www.arb.com.au/products/?customise This will take you to the ARB site section where you canb get the part numbers for bits for various vehicles. Get the numbers of the bits of interest of the two vehicles. Then compare the numbers.
