Afternoon all,
I would like to retrofit ARBs to my 02' DCPU. There are three choices of routes I can see: 1. Buy all genuine/OE parts - Too expensive 2. Buy one of the Britpart branded kits accepting that the rubber parts and balljoints will probably wear out before I have finished fitting. 3. Buy a secondhand set and just buy new parts as required. Am i right in thinking 110s, 90s and Discoverys all share the same thickness/stiffness bars? What do people recommend. 02' 110 TD5 Double Cab Rebuild Thread 84' 90 3.9 V8 Caged Pickup Build Thread - Now For Sale Mobile Diesel Heater Build Thread |

Buy take off parts, you should be able to get some good condition bars for sensible money

Been considering the same. Trying to work out if it is worth doing with a 2" lift.
I was going to buy second hand/ britpart ones and fit new quality bushes Instagram @defender_ventures Empire Tuning - Agent |

I got a set on ebay for just over £100 delivered in the end.
Should be here next week. Steve 02' 110 TD5 Double Cab Rebuild Thread 84' 90 3.9 V8 Caged Pickup Build Thread - Now For Sale Mobile Diesel Heater Build Thread |

I fitted standard (pre-owned take-off) f&r anti-roll bars to my '07 DC and it has made a big difference. I am usually laden to around 2 to 2.5 tonnes, and have a heavy expedition rack, and cornering is now far less uncomfortable.

Take offs
ebay is your friend. The rears are different on a 90 to 110 as is the mounting position. |

Jim,
Any ideas on the difference in the rear bar, seems to be the same part number. I know the clamps and bushes are different on the 110. Cheers Steve 02' 110 TD5 Double Cab Rebuild Thread 84' 90 3.9 V8 Caged Pickup Build Thread - Now For Sale Mobile Diesel Heater Build Thread |

Sorry for the confusion
 ,the clamps,bushes and mounting positions are the difference I was meant, although iirc there is also a military/HD version which is thicker like a lot of the updated versions at 28mm?? |

As i understand it, rear 110 bracket has four bolts front and 90's are 2 bolt. There is a heavy duty WMIK rear bar but I don't know the thickness.
