Hi from Brisbane

Hi all, name is Mick and took delivery of my Fortuner Crusade a couple of weeks...waiting patiently for ARB to release their range of bars and steps. Be good to hear what everyone else is doing to their Fortuners!!!

Hi Mick and welcome to the forum!

Yeah I will prod them with another email to see what is happening.

Vehicle looks good and glad to see you getting out there already.

Regards,
Shaun

Hey Shaun thanks for that mate, seems that ARB have the under-body protection up on the site so I wouldn't imagine the rest of the kit is far away. Suspension lifts also seem to be elusive beasts when ringing around to the usual suppliers have you heard of any coming to market soon?

I was picking up a battery tray yesterday and they mentioned that the bullbars are 3-4 months away. I'm not 100% this is specific for Fortuner or HiLux. I know early this year arb apparently missed the boat with getting the new Fortuner and only purchased the Hilux, Prado and Crusider. Still I'm sure HiLux bars will fit.

Geez, that's not good news for all those who are hanging out for an ARB bulbar.

Hi Guys,

What bugeye has said is true. I was in on Friday to ask and they are saying May to middle of the year for most of the Fortuner gear. My heart sank as they had originally been telling me they were looking at the end of February. They said they have had a whole load of new vehicles and they are running behind as some of the others were in the front of the queue.

I do know that TJM is planning on releasing their bull bar in the next few weeks. They will also have their Fortuner with all their bits that they have done so far at the Brisbane 4wd show this weekend.

Sorry guys, I know a few people have been waiting for the ARB kit to be released...

Probably still worth the wait though... ARB does some cool stuff
