ARB Summit Sahara Bar Nissan NP300 Navara 2015

Nissan’s recently released NP300 Navara is the first vehicle to receive the ARB Summit Sahara Bar treatment. The Summit Sahara range takes a number of design elements from the Summit Combination bar including the 30mm radius on the wings and centre pan, recessed winch control box mount, pressed top pan with pressed winch cover, buffers and a centre two piece grill. Chassis mounts, initially developed for the ARB Summit Bar for the NP300, have been utilised to ensure that the Summit Sahara bar is securely mounted to the chassis and the crush rate characteristics of the air bag system are retained. The bar mounts have had extensive Finite Element Analysis (FEA) testing and destructive crush testing to ensure that they do not deviate from the manufacturers chassis impact characteristics. Unlike previous ARB Sahara Bars, the NP300 Summit Sahara bar is finished in a satin black powder coat finish with the added option to colour code to individual vehicles. A zinc rich primer is used for additional corrosion resistance.

Part Numbers:

Driving Light Mounts:

Laser cut holes are provided in the pressed top pan for fitment of a range of compatible driving lights including ARB Intensity and IPF 808, 800 and 900 series lights.

Note: Pinning holes for ARB Intensity lights included.

Antenna Mounts:
Two aerial mounts are welded to the optional centre cross tube to allow fitment of UHF/AM radio and mobile phone aerials/antennas. If no alloy tube is fitted provision is on the centre pan for antenna mounting.

Buffers, Centre Pan Grill And Fog Light Surround:
The Navara NP300 Summit Sahara Bar features two piece buffers, centre pan grill and ARB’s recently released fog light surround (Fog Light part No 3500590 is optional). All three components have been designed to integrate with each other and the bar design. The front section of the buffer is included in the fitting kit of the bar. Refer above table for top buffer section part numbers. To provide access to winch clutch handles and to assist with valuable air flow to the radiator and intercooler the split pan has a two piece grill for an integrated, OE style

Fog Lights:
ARB’S 51W fog light, part number 3500590, is optional fitment to the ARB Summit Sahara NP300 bar. If no fog lights are fitted the fog light insert is supplied standard with a screw in cover. The fog light surround will be supplied in the natural black finish to complement the buffer design. ARB Auxiliary Fog Light Loom part no 3500530 is required if fitting the ARB Fog Light option. A clear fog light cover is being developed separately under part no 3500680. Anticipated due date is November 2015.

Pressed Form Top Pan & Winch Cover
ARB’s Summit Sahara bar for the NP300 features a pressed form top pan. The press form adds strength to the top pan whilst allowing for the winch cover panel to be recessed. A 4mm aluminium (finished in a satin black powder coat finish ) press formed winch cover panel in supplied with the NP300 Summit Sahara Bar for when no winch is being fitted. When fitted the winch cover panel is recessed in the press form top pan to give a level and integrated appearance.

Hi-Lift Jacking Points:
Hi-Lift jack points are located directly below the buffers. The Hi-Lift jack point is welded directly to the upright on either side and is designed to prevent the Hi-Lift Jack from interfering with the buffer.

Led Clearance Light/ Turn Signals:
ARB’s designed and developed LED Clearance Light / Turn signal is fitted to a press form aperture in each wing.

Winch Model Fitment:
The ARB winch mount for the NP300 Summit Sahara bar fits the following winches:
• Warn M8000, XD9000, XP9.5 and XDC 9.5
• Warn ZEON 8, 8-S, 10 and 10-S
• Warn ZEON Platinum 10 and 10-S
• Smittybilt Gen2 X20 10K
• Bushranger DV-9TH, DS-9.5TH and Seal 9.5TH

Additional fit kits are required depending on the winch being fitted:
• All winch fitments require P/N 3500720 WINCH INSTALL KIT SUMMIT BAR
• Warn ZEON and ZEON Platinum fitment requires P/N W89965 Short Wiring Kit
• Warn ZEON Platinum fitment may require P/N W94288 Enhanced Signal Kit

Under Pan Protection Panels:
Centre and side protection panels are supplied with the fitting kit of the ARB Summit Sahara bar for the NP300. Panels are manufactured from laser cut and folded 2mm steel. Panels are finished with a zinc rich primer and a satin black powder coat. The centre panel features laser cut and folded flaps to both add to the strength of the panel and to aid with air flow to the radiator and front mounted intercooler.
