I’ve had a few issues with ARB products & fitting over the years and I’ve found that the best way to deal with issues you can’t solve at the dealer/shop is to go over their heads and go to the states head office.
Good luck.

[MrThuggery]

Our ARB store we use (East end, traralgon Vic) have always had the right attitude. Nothing but professional and very helpful. This includes warranty issues. If your not getting this from anyone service company etc, don't go back simple.

I really enjoy watching your content Cam, mainly because you are relatable. I watch your vids cos I can see myself where you are, in the car you are in, get ideas for trips that I can do, and it helps you live in WA as well. Your car may be the new shiny kid on the block, but you went the base spec (which was smart) as opposed to the top of the range $150k+ models. This is in stark contrast to some channels that end up with massive yank tanks worth upwards of $200k with fully sponsored canopy layouts, or top of the range RAM's which cost $250k+, and their videos are just them trying to sell something to the viewers. Don't be ashamed of how much you've spent, because you've earn't it. Just keep on being real!

btw, the Evakool organizer turned up 2 days after I placed the order, and the quality on it is fantastic. Haven't had a chance to use it, but looks and feels amazing 👍👌

ARB have been riding a wave of success and seem to be dropping the ball on quality along the way. Push hard as it’s not your problem and cost to refit those steps.

[SomervilleMetalWorks]

ARB quality control out the window when you move offshore and set up a big factory in Thailand. Also your wait times blow out to 3 months as that's how long the containers take to get here.

I have Y62 and Yakima, which is perfect. There is no noise at all, even without wind deflectors.

[TravelExplorex]

Nice one Cam. I do rate the base rack for the ease of fitting accessories and that you get a stronger fixing too. And all the kaon gear is mint. I have the same awning brackets but I have the side mount maxtrax holder that folds away.
Also if you are still getting a bit of noise from you roof rack maybe check the gap between the light bar and roof rack. I fitted my light bar about a year after my roof rack and instantly the noise was heaps worse. It had a whistle to it. I ended up putting some foam tape between the roof rack and light bar and it stopped it completely. Can send you a photo of it if you want 👍🏽

Thanks for another honest and informative video. Brought the 30 Second 270 awning off the back of your "Rookie Mistake" video a few weeks back - very happy with it, a great product 👍

[cruisering]

Mate! This has quickly become my dream build.
Congratulations on everything you've done, it absolutely looks mint.
As for ARB, I think their bullbar looks the best by far and whilst they've made a mistake with the side steps I'd say ya just gunna have to except it as one of those things that happens to all companies manufacturering a product, sometimes they just get it wrong. At least they have come to the party and are taking ownership of the problem and not fighting you over who's at fault like other companies do.
It's obviously painful but the bigger picture is you've built an awesome vehicle with a number of after market suppliers gear thoughtfully layed out with a couple of minor hiccups along the way, , , , great build
I just can't wait to see more of it mate, well done, absolutely epic.
Cheers

[aussiematt]

Awesome content as usual Cam keep hustling mate👍🏼 closing the gap with tiav on subscribers!

[johnhill]

Hi Cam, another great video. You briefly mentioned your portable solar panel. I believe it's the Quad fold 400w from Offroad Living. I look forward to your comments on that.
Good luck with ARB.

[-PORK-CHOP-]

Smart setup with the solar, costly but is keep you out of trouble

[stevesmith]

I have a victron solar controller on my trailer, and I love it! It is solar only. I live where the sun shines more than 2/3 of the year. I am setting up another vehicle right now and finding it disappointing that
Victron doesn't make an all in one controller for dc/dc and MPPT. Watch, as soon as I buy another brand, they'll come out with one. Murphys law and all that. Cheers, Cam!❤

[bradt]

Another great video Cam, I’m definitely no ARB shill, but that Summit MK2 bar looks awesome on the 300. I’ve recently added one to my Hilux and I’m very happy with it. Cheers

[jerryfrench]

I have the ARB base rack and am happy as with it. I went with TJM sliders. Not the heaviest duty you can get but they look good & are more solid that the ARB units. Also had TJM install front & rear e-lockers. I think they were around 5K for both.

[krump]

You will have to go back to brunswick when there is some mud about and test those side steps out 😉

[dan_jj]

I use to work at ARB a long time ago, had the same issues with bent bars, steps and other damaged stock. Been going on for year and part of the reason I don’t really touch their stuff. The amount of “bent” bar was unreal.

[dylan.laybck]

Great looking 300, heaps of inspo for my 200 series

[seanchristie]

Fantastic wrap up, I don't think I would be touching ARB again if I were you or Aaron.
I think most people that upgrade or improve any vehicle, van, boat, bike or house would be shocked at the price

[TheOldFellasTravels]

Hey Cam. ARB have done my last two vehicles at some expense mind you. Always been happy with the work but the side steps can get a bit slippery and on more than one occasion I have almost gone @rse up.
I will probably go ARB bull bar on the DMax build soon. My only disappointment is that after spending maybe 30k plus at ARB and not too mention I have promoted them on my channel, not the slightest discount was offered. I rate the ARB bull bars but there is plenty of other gear on the market. Additionally, I have priced the auto drop down retractable sliders and there is not much difference in price. So I'm going to try them on the new DMax. Scratch buff out pretty easily too mate. Mine have just been buffed out and the 76 LC looks mind again.
Safe travels mate.
