Hi all,

My Landcruiser is currently at ARB getting a bullbar fitted. I have had a call saying there is a slight issue. The bullbar has been made to order as they do not produce these for my model vehicle anymore and have been told that there seems to be an issue with one of the welds which has caused there to be a slightly larger gap under the headlight on the drivers side than what there is on the passenger side. In other words it's not exactly level. To me the difference is negligible and if he hadn't told me I probably wouldn't have noticed but the problem here is that I am only going by the photo. I work away and am not able to see the vehicle until tomorrow morning when I go to pick it up.

He has sent me a photo as wants to know what I want to do.

A) Take it off, put the plastic bumper back on and order another one (and wait 2 months)
B) Accept it as it is and benefit from paying trade price for the bullbar.

I asked if it would affect the integrity of the bar and whether it would affect further modifications ie side rails and side steps, winch and he has guaranteed it it will not.

Not sure what to do! From the pic I can hardly tell and I do appreciate getting the call so I have a choice. I really need the vehicle this week and I don't want them to take it off before I see it in person but they will require to hold onto it for another day to replace the plastic bumper should I decide not to go ahead.

Any advice? Thankyou.

Craig
