If you are not comfortable doing the install yourself, don't be afraid to go to a local ARB Dealer for the install.
I'm waiting to hear back from a local dealer on the cost to supply and install it. Whether I do it myself will probably depend on their price. If it's reasonable I plan to have them do it.

Okay, thanks for confirming. That's the size they list fir the Ranger-specific application but thought yours might have been longer. It sure looks great on there btw!
Yes I think the basic body shell is the same for both US and Global spec, the only difference being the length difference for single, cab, extended cab, and double cab. I had a look on a local ARB site and the stuff looks identical.

You won’t regret getting it. The quality is great and I really love the way they designed the rails and bars with the dove tail attachments for things like awnings, lights, Jerry can holders etc.

I ended up getting a bed rack and buying an additional and larger ARB base rack for the rear to use for bigger camping trips/carrying gear or lumber etc.

Looks like you did a great job of achieving an effectively very large base rack as everything is at an equal height. I'm actually planning to do similar by mounting a second base rack on an OVS Expedition topper, adding a roller attachment at the back and finding suitable saddles for our kayaks. I can't find anything on what's involved to mounting one on a topper with built in rails so I sent an email to ARB support.
