Give ARB a ring. We just put one on our 09 and they said it would fit on the current model when we trade up.
Cheers

Hi
It won't fit on without plenty of cutting of the bumber on the new one. Trust me (TJM, ARB and Ironman have probs fitting on the new shape. The template for the new shape is different to the old.

Richard,

This press release (http://www.arb.com.au/media/press/ARB_Toyota_LC200_Release.pdf) is dated October 2012, so should be suitable/applicable.

I was in at ARB 2 days ago pricing their bars. They now have all 3 bars available for the 2012 update model including the Sahara bar - these bars are different to the previous model 200series.

Ironman have not modified their bars yet. The guy phoned head office who said they had fitted the older model bars with minor modification, but were at least a month away from supplying 2012 update bars.

TJM just have a T13 when I enquired a few weeks back.

And Toyota have their own bars for the 2012 model.
