Just curious if it is possible so put a TJ ralliart body kit on a KJ Verada GTV without doing to much body work due to the veradas larger bumper bars? Cheers.

I think you will have problems with the metal bars behind the bumpers. You will need to
find a way to push those bars in 50mm.

Not sure, cos I don't know what else is attached to it and what else it supports. The only
way to find out is to remove the bumper plastics of both magna and verada and have a
close look. Actually, just go to a wrecker and have a look :D

both reo bars will need to be removed and the rear bar replaced with a standard tj reo bar-
any impact styrofoam will need to be ditched also and the bolt alignment will have to be inverted. Then a tj rear bumper fitted.

BEHR is right, but something else to consider is that the bunbury motorsports kit is made for a verada, if you wanted to keep your longer bumpers.

The cost of a rear bar from mitspares is 145- cost of new reo from mits- 85-
Go a genuine kit with full abs plastic rather than fibreglass and it will save you untold
grief in the long run- M4ddog has them- and they are magic Kits- his supplier may even have
a VRX kit-

ralliart kit is an easy fit, just swap the intrusion bar(front/rear) for a magna one (should cost you about 100 each if you shop around/wreckers) From what i know, the ralliart rear is a full bar replacement, as is the front, so its just the intrusion bars that need replacing

Just need to relocate your parkers into your headlights (depending on what model you have the headlights already have a provision for this). and remove your foglights.

When you say rear bar, do you mean rear bar cover or the metal bar itself?

I need to replace my rear bar cover due to some previous persons (i suspect the mitsu dealership where i got it from) dodgy repair job, and now the paint is peeling.

Last quotes I got were $300 for a verada rear bar cover *sorry for thread hijack*

a follow up regarding the intrusion bar swap. just checked www.ozeparts.com.au On their page for TJ magnas they have listed front intrusion bar $105 and $80 for the rear intrusion bar.

Theyre also in melb and pickup is available

Standard Magna reo will need custom brackets to fit a Verada. The Verada uses US standard impact absorbing bumpers which have larger and stronger mounting points then the Magna. The bodyshells are actually different in this area to accomodate the larger beams. Also note the Verada SRS system is calibrated for the larger DOT bumpers.
