You can do it. However I think you will find it fucks with insurance/liability in an accident as its not airbag compliant with the specific model? Xrox guys now make two styles of bar for the new jimny ones the agro tube bar and then a more conventional arb style bar. You can see my car with the conventional style bar from xrox in the link below viewtopic.php?f=3&t=41985
Someone who knows the rules regarding bull bars and airbag compliance will likely chime in and correct anything I got wrong(maybe all of it?)

If there wasn't a bat available at all for the new model I probably would have had some one make mounts for the arb bar but there's an easier Alternative and one that the insurance lot won't take issue with. Plus they aren't really expensive and are pretty good quality it seems to me. But at the end of the day you gotta be happy with Whay you wheel.
