Hi, I got a 1989 LN130 surf and I wondering if other model Hilux bull bar will fit it? Nudge bar etc... I notice the older version of Hilux have same width chassic.

Basicly after something to fit on mine. Really want those ARB bullbar style but they not cheap! What sort of price am I looking for one of those? from new to 2nd item. Also thinking maybe if it worth it to get some imported from oversea that made from metal? If there is good demand for them I got contact in Malaysia.

The older models have mounting holes under the chassis rail, whereas the 130's have the mounting holes on the sides... so you can make them fit, but you would have to fab new mounts. but yes, the chassis rails are the same width.

If there is something you can find in malaysia that works out at a good price then go for it, but the freight will be a killer...

thanks, yeh freight, but at the moment, i'm "test" the freight by ship as sending over a big satelite dish in bits. They are very cheap to send... but just going to a quite a while before it arrive.. a few months i think..

What sort of $$ to get one that is ARB style bumpers for hilux etc in NZ? Or maybe something that custom made?
There is lots and lots of hilux in east side of Malaysia. The common spec are 2L motor or the pre 1989 and 3L after that. This is the 2 doors hilux with leaf springs all round.
