whatever Member 76 Member For: 23y 2m 22d Location: Brisbane Posted 20/08/03 12:40 AM Posted 20/08/03 12:40 AM I am thinking about getting nudge bar for my ute. what option are out there? I did a search and found a couple guys here have the TJM. a question for you guys, do you found that having a nudge bar infront cause the car to run hotter? also someone mentioned it will be mounted differently on a turbo due to intercooler. has it affected the performance at all?

Maybe TJM have come up with the proper brackets for the turbo but they only had the standard XR ones when I put the bar on my son's ute.If you can't get the proper brackets I have pics showing what mods I did to the XR ones to make it fit ... IMO the nudge bar looks really tuff on the ute with the sports bar.
