TJM OUTBACK BAR COLORADO
(2016+)
This tough steel bar has been beefed
up even more for the facelifted Holden
Colorado, with more aggressive styling to
match the ute’s new front-end design. The
bar is made of 63mm tubing and features
8000kg-rated recovery points, LED
combination lights (steel-mounted) that
sit flush in the bar, LED foglights and an
integrated winch mount (winch mounting
kit required and sold separately). The bar’s
design ensures the best approach angle
is attained, and it can be fitted with large
spotties and dual radio aerials. There is
also provision for relocating the vehicle’s
parking sensor. The bar is airbag and
ADR-compliant. The bar also includes
reinforced recovery jack points and full
cato straps for maximum strength.

ARB’s 60-litre Elements weatherproof
fridge-freezer features 304-grade
stainless steel construction, protective
corner mouldings, electronic lock system
(to keep beer-thieving mates out), gas
struts, heavy-duty stainless steel hinges,
provision for a padlock and more. It’s
ideal for fitment in any 4x4, but especially
in 4x4 ute trays, where it can be locked
down securely thanks to a tamper-proof
mounting kit (there’s also a tie-down kit
and fridge slide available). A uniform
temperature in-fridge is achieved via the
full-height evaporator that adds surface
area and thus improved efficiency. The
control panel is weatherproof, with its
touchpad easily accessed. The touchpad
keys are backlit and the display also
shows DC voltage supply for monitoring of
power use. The front and rear handles are
recessed, as are the AC and DC sockets.
Dimensions are 440mm (H), 820mm (D)
and 490mm (W), and it weighs 31kg.
