Hi guys ive just bought a 2012 Jimny. Just waiting for ARB to finish developing the bull bar for the newer shape and ill get one. My question is does anyone know if the lightforce 170's fit in the Jimny arb bullbar or do i need to buy the 140'? I know it will be slightly different with the new one but the dimensions shouldnt change that much.

Thanks guys.

170 Fit, I have them in my ARB Bar, check my sig block.

[zooky08]

I have 240 in mine. 170 should fit in the new style bars if there similar to the old one.

Doesnt mean they fit the 170s are a perfect fit under the top rail, dont have to stick out the front or anything.










I could just be jealous... Nah

[Dan85]

Thanks Scales. Ill go order them now. how are the 170's working for you?

[Dan85]

zooky 08 i dont think im manly enough for the big ones.

I run the 170's on my GV. I've upped them to 100w HID and fuck me thats bright. I'm getting a 200W lightbar for the spread atm the lightforce's are full spread covers on them when I get the lightbar the 170's will be 2 pencil beam covers on them. I recon they are an awsome light and can't fault them.

i wouldnt go 100hids as it will bleach the relfector . stay to 70w hids or under in light forces as they have very shit refletors.

thats why i only have 70s in my xgts

[bohuler]

No issues so far and been running for over 6 months....

[Dan85]

Yogi, is there a better light i should be buying? as far as price goes im not worried if i spend more however iw as told they where pretty damn good.

[jimny_timmy]

Slightly off topic, but I can't see how the 06-11 bullbar wouldnt fit the new model Jimny??? You're still only going to remove the bumper, and nothing else has changed except the front grill is no longer part of the bonnet?

[Dan85]

Jimmny_timmy i was told by arb that it was slightly different no idea what area tho.

[jimny_timmy]

I'd put money on they haven't even looked at it and they're just saying that to cover their asses lol... Not saying I'm not wrong, but theres definitely no change to the chassis etc.

[Dan85]

I wouldnt have a clue to be honest. i was told a couple of months and the guy seemed to be clued into the fact that it doesnt fit the bonnet scoop model. I hope its sooner as im a bit impatient and want it now!! Ill give another store a call and see what they say.

They kick ass mate. real happy with them, not HID.

I was considering getting a flood lens for one of them, but ended up with a LED bar for the flood side of things. They throw really well though.

[Dan85]

What light bar did you get? i didnt see one in your build thread? thats exactly what i was thinking was the 170's in spot and an led bar for spread.

[Scales]

haha, yeah its not fitted yet. thats why. Im still at work til tomorrow when i fly home, will be on there before the weekend though.

20" bar to fit on the top rail of the bullbar in the middle. As with all things, ill have pics up as soon as its done. expect to be around thursday.

Yeah i dont know the difference if there is one. Has anyone got a 2012 with an arb bar? are they lying to me? I was just told by the ARB people that the bull bar for the previous jimny 2011 and older doesnt fit the 2012(with the scoop) he didnt elaborate as to the difference and i didnt even think to ask. I will speak to another ARB store tomorrow and see what the go is and if they say anything different.

[Paulo]

Hey I know this is an old thread but I have a 2012 jimny with the face lift and I wondering are they actually going to make a arb bullbar for the2012 model

[Scales]

ask ARB....

[Dan85]

I've been told its on the list of things to do. Was gonna give them a ring next week see where it's at. But they said its def in the process. I'm hoping its soon as the misses and me are going for 2 weeks exploring in June/July.

I fired off an email to ARB and this is what I got back from one of there Product Managers.

"Thank you for your enquiry to ARB and your interest in our products.

Over the last 18 months ARB have experiencing an unprecedented busy period in regards to development. In that period many new and updated vehicles have been released that have required complete developments of products.

We are starting to catch up on the product development demand now and as a result are starting to focus attention onto some vehicles we have been wanting to start on for some time.

Currently development for a new Jimny 2012 bar has not been scheduled. Unfortunately I cannot provide a time line, except to say that I expect it will be quite some time off."

I suppose I don't mind waiting. I'm not sure about the Xrox bar. I'm not sure if I love it or hate it. I will have to have a look when they release it.

[Dan85]

That sucks. Xrox aren't developing a 2012 jimny one either as I fired an email off to them a few weeks back and said they werent even looking at it at this stage.

[Paulo]

i have emailed them and they said the same thing. i have been put on a waiting list for the ARB. the Xrox are doing a 2012 jimny as i emailed them too. but i really much prefer a ARB

[Dan85]

Paulo what did the xrox guys say? when was this?

[Paulo]

um just email them. i saw it on another fourm and sent him a email

Not having a go but 6 months isn't really that long to be judging it, 100w are bloody bright though I'll give you that. My 55w kit in my extremes are great, try and get 5000k instead of the 6000 or 6500k they normally do though

[jimmy91]

i was told my opposite lock that the xrox wont be too much longer, friend working for arb has said there will be a new jimny bar that'll be coming soon.

[Dan85]

What's soon and too much longer? Haha sorry I'm impatient. Wish I had friends at fancy 4wd places..........actually I just wish I had friends
