ARB Summit and Sahara Bars for the Fortuner

From ARB 18 May 2016

"ARB Engineering Department have advised the desire to build a Sahara style Bullbar for the Fortuner.
Currently the schedule states TBA (to be advised) which by all accounts is probably closer to the end of the year than anything else.

ARB is currently working on producing the Summit Bullbar for the Fortuner with an eta of mid 2016.
Many aspects of the design of this Bullbar will flow into the work for development of the Sahara Bar"

Thanks for the update.
I won't buy a bar until I see ARB's offerings, so it can't come soon enough IMO. (Hope you're listening ARB).

yeah I'm after the sahara bar style but not in a rush so OK to wait

I'm willing to wait as well, guess I might purchase a lift first.

So I found this picture on the lightforce Facebook page... Fortuner ARB bar

Nice bullbar, looks like Kaymar has access to pre-release parts... has got an interesting looking side step & a Brown Davis underbody shield as well

It looks exactly like the Hilux bar, so I'm now wondering if this is even the Fortuner bar. As why would ARB need so much time to release it, if it's exactly the same as the Hilux that that was released last year?
See photo below, as there is a Hilux a couple cars to the right.

The ARB Sahara Bar has been released for the new Hilux.

Fortuner should be around the corner.

Still waiting. . May be a while for Sahara Bar.

In the interim i hit a roo on the weekend. He ran into the side luckily not head on but still caused some damage.. may need to look at other bar options.

Hey guys,

Just stumbled across this on the ARB website. I could swear it wasn't there yesterday...

Looks like ARB have launched the Summit bar for the Fortuner! I'm hanging out for the Sahara bar, hope it's not far off.

Got an email from ARB today. The summit bar is $2150 fitted + colour coding, fog lights and harness as extra if needed. Available late Sept 2016

Great to see more aftermarket parts coming out

I would doubt that that price is fitted. Hilux summit bar is exactly $2150 not fitted, $2590 fitted according to the pricelist you can download from arb.com.au (fortuner is not in the pricelist yet).

In any case, great to see that its finally (almost!) ready.
