Hey

We were told thats all we could have. So thats what we went with. We are trying to put in another plastic fuel tank in the rear for our desert trip.

Great looking ride you got there, but why the ARB logo? Do you work there or is it cause of all the work done on the rig....looks great, definately an eye catcher.:thumb:

Thanks we try to keep her looking good. We were going to get a guy at work to do it, its cheaper , was that or the outback brand from ARB , its about $1500 if you want to put it in yourself.
