We made ARB's Bullbar BETTER. 

"Just having a crack". Thats why I like Aussie Arvos.

love the the build dan, would be cool to see the flares bedlined to match the rest of the car and bar work.

Hey you probably know this but definitely slot your antenna mounts so the wires go through otherwise it’s a pain to get them in and antennas don’t seem to like being joined. Sweet looking bar

This is some quality Aussie content. Keep it up boys! 👌

id be tempted to spray the grill and wheel arch flares in the bed liner as well. The Bar turned out great.

Cheers lads for another fantastic year of content. Great ideas and very informative practical executions. Merry Christmas to all of you and your family and friends.

Fantastic looking bar Dan, great job with the changes you made. Also a well laid out video, with lots of info on each section of the mods. Probably your best video so far. Well done.

Look really schmick Dan. The beauty of having square rigs, these bar design suits them extremely well. Plus the feeling of great satisfaction that you built it. Top job 👍

Great work Dan. Turned out good. Suits the shape of the GQ really well. 👍👌

What a good looking bar Love it 👌 would like too see a full detailed walk around of the whole rig . Thats 1 clean gq cheers for sharing

Absolutely prime bar design - I reckon we'll be seeing a lot of bars with that top hoop in future, looks sensational.

Nothing better than having a crack and getting to stand back and admire your work. Your guard flares would come up ok with some plastic dye too 👍

Very cool. Thanks for the nice detailed explanations. Patrol looks awesome.

The ariel mount on the driver's side comes in handy i have one on my MCC bar and I use it for my sand flag so its not used 99% of the time

As usual Dan with the incredible attention to detail. Love it. 👌🏼

Love the winch cover, top effort mate!

Excellent work Dan. As always, a pleasure watching you work! 🤙

Great job, I've been wanting to overhaul my arb bar, you might have convinced me too add a top loop 👌

You have as much power running to the negative as you do to the positive! THANK YOU. I swear to god I scream this regularly.

Dan really is the man!! Great job fellas keep it up 👍👍

That winch cover 👌🏻so clean. Mounting the control box on top also makes it look excellent!

Great work mate, looks mint!

This makes me want to make my own comp style bar for my GQ now! Love the bullbar turned up so well 👌

if you put a light duty hitch on the far sides of the bar you can see past your caravan when you are fronting it in and can get a jack knife turn

Love the spray booth!

Great job!!! Love the fact you’ve thought of everything 👌

Gotta love the diy ingenuity that gets around like having fencing wire severed on nuts, uncontrollably bleeding DW-40 from the chassis rail.

Bar looks mint mate goes with the rest of the build👌

Dan Awesome stuff its a bloody good old back yard garage build ... very big thumbs up

Brilliant job dude looks sooooo good. Love the point on the earth wiring as I have run into a few issues with my car because I have a aluminium radiator that corroded because of a bad earth. Would love to see a vid on that as I don’t quite understand what I have to do to prevent it happening again. Cheers

Looks great. Excellent job 👏

What a great video. Thanks guys.

Dan the man awesome way to finish the year with banger video See you guys next year 🤙🏼

Mate that bar build is brilliant. Very tasteful and love the top hoop.

Awesome dan , I pick up a winch bar in middle of no were for free .. see ya on the tracks mate

Great video Dan Well done guys

killer job. maybe some plastic restore on the flares?

Great stuff Dan

That looks sweet, nice work 😎

Looks awesome Dan 👌

Nice work. Winch cover looks great. That bull nose handle up top would look better if it was wider and shorter. But it also gives the lass something to hang onto while getting railed.

Looks bloody mint well done

Looks Awsome mate, we’ll done 👌🏼🤙🏼

Well done!

Bloody Beauty...maybe chuck a plug in the reece socket to stop mud going into it when butting ruts. Nice job.

What a nice looking rig! I love the shape of Bull bar as well! Ocam has done it again! I love that they supply everything with their products! Love the paint! Too nice for that get dirty! Suitable for driving around Toorak?

So pleased this classic truck is in someone's hands which will look after it long term. They'll be like rocking horse doo doo in years to come and a piece of Aussie 4wd history

I think it’s bloody awesome!

Dans build videos are some of the best

BIGGER, BETTER, BADDER, BLOKIER, that's how blokes do it Dan, well done mate, be an individual that's what it all about mate. Just remember too Dan, that antenna spot on the drivers side could be used for a sand flag. also, the Hayman/Reese hitch on the front, great idea, I had one on the front of my forby and I made slide in mount to hold my vise, which was very handy if I needed it and I also had one as a step to get into the engine bay to work, because I'm a short ass, there I said it OK, haha. Did you only need one can to paint the bull bar Dan ?. Seeya Rob

Awesome bar!

Wow that's a clean rig

Great video mate.

very keen to see what you put together for a rear bar if this is the quality you put out for bullbar and rocksliders

18:30 That's bloody brilliant. I always wondered why people have tow balls on the front of their rigs.

looks awesome mate . hoop might be illegal for pedestrian accident but i don't know the rules . keep up the great content

looks mint Dan, you need to paint them flares too lol

Great job looks mint, next gas struts for bonnet

The flares would look mint in that same paint to match theme

Mate it looks schmick, job well done 👍

looking good! just a thought with the wheel arches/flares - might be worth trying some vht vinyl dye to blacken them, if you're interested in continuing the black and red. goes on like spray paint i love how you guys are young but still level headed and not making references to memes that no one over 25 cares about

for a grounding plain for ants you are typically at between 2-3 inch thick metal personally i would nmot use the arb bullbar as typical for what you are doing because it just no dense enough past the odd thin tree branch.. I'm inclined to run 2 uhf and 1 hf radio 1 uhf for narrowband and the other for wide band use.. and hf with ssb/usb/lsb functions I would also consider adding in vhf as secondary comms platform for marine and air contact... i would err on the sid4 of caution if using shims as a fixing point especially if using a inner diameter as a friction fit bull bars where you use a lock washer and 2 locking nuts to attach bull bar to vehicle Yes, welding a nut bon can be done however you likely to be weakening the nut doing so as what you are welding too is a different density as much as i like ARB bull bars none would be able resist an animal strike given the metal don't look like it is past a 1/2 an inch in thickness

Looks sick Dan 😫

Well done

That looks soo tuff

Need some Rectangular Tubing welded in the corners of your Bull Bar and scrup Bars. FOR YOUR HIGH LIFT JACK

Hey Dan I reckon black out the guard trims would set it right off !

damn, this sounds so camp, but Dan you looking good brother. far out, been training or something.

It does look really good. What has happened to summer in Vic?

Nice work. Ebay leds are not waterproof and seam sealed ours still failed and the seller didn't want to know. Pity cause they fit these older bars real nice. Going back to original lights now.

Love the red and black, next the wheels need to be black haha

you should do the flairs with the dominator pain aswell

Hey man, love the vids. Quick question, I'm trying to build a custom offroad/camper crv gen 4 and I need help fabricating a modern styled bullbar. Literally no one has done this before so it's one of a kind on this model haha. Any chance I could get some assistance of some sort? Could even use it for a video idea 🙃

I reckon it's awesome mate and like you said it's yours!

Do you by chance have the link to the new led lights that went in the bar?

Shit yeah, looks very professional. How many beers to help me do this to my ARB triton bar when it arrives XD

You should spray your flares with that paint...👍...

Just need to spray the wheel arch’s with the dominator to tie it all in

where do u get the dominatior body liner ???? \

Can you get level wind winches yet

i would love a drag race between Patricks winch and the new ocam winch.

Come on you guys where's my Aussie Arvo Fix 😜😎

Can you provide the link for the chassis inserts.

Bar looks mint mate. Now can you please trim black those flares 🫣

Is it a tb42 or a td42 and what winch have u got on your patrol because I’m looking for one to put on mine and I can really decide on what I want to go on my patrol

Absolutely beautiful looking bar. Fantastic job better than anything you could’ve bought good job mate.

70 kegs for a bar and winch is good, I was expecting over 85kg bonus is it looks mint

cool

Are you going to get a new ARB lable to stick in the recessed location.

whats the maximum winch load capacity the bullbar got?

Do you guys have K160 Patrols there on Australia? I have never seen one in RU-vid videos... Here in Finland it is maybe most common Patrol model. I all so have on whit SD33 (3,3L straith 6)

I would be amazed in the place we call Australia, that any of this is legal.

hi dan, i have this issue with my wheels on my nissan patrol y60 being woblley when i speed up, how do i resolve this issue, Papua New Guinea Goroka

Ether find a arb sticker for the original location or make up a Aussie arvo one to go there

great video mate....who is the manufacturer for the bull bar mounting bracket? thinking to making mods to my arb bar :) BTW what is the total weight of the patrol as it is right now?

Good job mate, bar looks good👍🏻 It'll be interesting to see how much shit builds up under the cover you've made. But a real bar is an RSJ with box section and expanded mesh and zero fucks given😜😆

More Dan.

Good work on the build. Now, I hate to be "that guy" and I know it wasn't a typical winching situation, BUT, you should ALWAYS put a dampener over a winch rope under load, even like this. It's best practice, and even in something this simple things can go wrong. We don't want to see those who are inexperienced making that mistake and getting hit with a rope.

That gazeebo is a fucking beast.

that hitch on the front is for people who can't reverse but you can't keep everyone happy can you
