I am picking up an ARB bull bar for my 00 XJ this weekend, and I am wondering about its compatablity with the C-ROK steering box brace that I already have on the XJ. Thanks

Why don't you call Greg at CRok and ask him? He is a great guy and will give you the straight answer.

C-rok recommends hammering both mounts to fit the plate. The mounts are short and if you widen them you won't be able to bolt them in to the bottom of the rail/frame. You could try this: http://home.comcast.net/~xjmatt/steering/steering.htm

I have that exact setup. It will work no problem. The ARB comes with shims to help center the bumper left to right. Just leave the shims out on the driver's side and use the C-ROK brace as the shim. If you have any problems, PM me and I can help.

bump,
I might be getting an ARB bullbar and I also have the C-ROK plates and was wondering does the bumper only mount to 3 or 4 holes on each side? (like above?)

Wow... back from the dead... The ARB replaces the stock mounts with beefier ones but still uses the stock mounting which is 5 bolts per side. You can see part of the bottom bolt in the picture inside the bracket.
and BTW due to me moving my writeup listed above is being moved here: www.adventuretimmy.com/jeep/steering/steering.htm

That doesn't see mlike that a real strong mount then. I know my C-Rok paltes will help, but the pass side is a weak link.
