Default INFO? ARB Ford Territory Off Road Racing

Not sure if anyone can help but I remember a few years back seeing an image of a Ford Territory done up for Off Road Racing sponsored by ARB. If I remember right it was for a new series that would be run over the summer to fill the motorsport gap. I have searched high and low and can't find a thing on it, did anyone else see this or have info on it at all?

Yes I remember what your talking about.

Not sure it was ARB though and there wasn't much Territory apart from a few panels either. The car was on a purpose built chassis and powered by a Chev LS V8 engine. I don't know if the proposed series ever happened either.

I'll see if I can dig something up and post back.

Yep that's the one!

ARB, TJM...Same thing! I know what I ment! When I was looking originally I was looking for ARB then remembered it was TJM by the colours but obviously had ARB on the brain! LOL

Well certainly not like I thought it was, I thought it was a production based series!

Thanks for your help!

I don't know why ARB or TJM would even enter a Territory as they both don't offer much on the Territory when you look into their gear, I freqeuntly look on ARB for new update's as I would love to see a nice steel bar designed for the Territory like they do for Toyota's, I guess the market is just not there.

Does anyone have any more info on the SUV Super Series as the website is only a landing page? From the info I found it was supposed to kick off August last year?

Sorry to say mate, but that doesn't do anything for me in the way of look's , it's not nicely designed like the ones for the Toyota's (that by the way are steel and have many design's, like sahara, deluxe etc,) I think TJM are the only ones that offer a bar like you have shown that is polished alloy.

Hopefully in time they might see a bigger market there and give us a wider product range for the Terri.
