WTB: ARB, TJM or MCC front bar to fit my Surf KZN185

Post by Wild_South »

Hi all,

I am after a TJM, ARB or MCC front bar to fit on my 1996 KZN185 Surf. I am in Christchurch but happy to buy from elsewhere for the right price.

Thanks
Scott

My local ARB dealer quoted me $2200 for a front bar for my 185 Surf, so I think they do make them.

the 95 series prado arb bumper fits the 185. just the corners have a little gap as front of surf has a rounder park light compared to prado.

Hey mate,

I just put a MCC bar on my kzn185, looks wicked and of good build quality. You probably won't find a second hand one, I looked for about 6 months then just bit the bullet and got a MCC one, stoked I did in the end.

I have been looking at the Prado ARB bullbar that fits our model Surf but it still has to be modified as there is a big gap at the corner of the bulbar and the indicator. Also I understand that you have to cut a bit out so it will fit in by the guard.
Did you have to modify your MCC bar in any way to get a nice fit?
Any photos?

because they are also a winch mount bar, they poke out the front quite a bit.
