I spent the day yesterday removing the rear step and hayman reese towbar and replacing it with a ARB rearstep bar. I like the way it protects the rear quarter panels and doesn`t hang down like a plough. The only problem i have now is i will have to get a new dropshank for my wdh as i was already using the lowest holes for it and this sits 100mm higher.

Looks nice. It looks like you need the smaller number plate also?
yeah Brad good idea might go the slim plate having a little trouble with the reverse camera mounting so that could help. Any idea on how much vicroads rip you off er i mean charge?

When I bought my Jeep from interstate I booked it in with Vicroads for rego.
The standard plate fee was $30 but if I wanted some slimline ones it was going to be $90!!

To transfer my personalised ones cost me $105 IIRC, so they are a bit more..

I love the ARB rear bars, had one on my old D22 Navara and stood up well to a few beatings off road.

Nice bum!

Is the ARB Towbar rating any different to the original one?
No 3 tonne as well. Put the Hayman Reese wdh in the reciever yesterday and it won`t go all the way in for the pin to line up. It misses out by about 10mm, i wont cut any off this one because i have to buy longer drop shank to get the van level because the reciever height is nearly 100mm higher and i was using the bottom holes already.
