I followed GaryInOz's lead and e-mailed the Seattle office for ARB about lockers and bull bars (I'd like to see ARB design those for us also). The following is their response:
"We offer a suspension for your rig, but at this time we don offer a Bull Bar or lockers. I would check back from time to time and see what's happening.
Best Regards, Jon Snow ARB-USA [email]jons@arbusa.com"[/email]
Question; I didn't know they made a suspension for us. I'm guessing it's the "OME" -Old Man Emu. But I can't find anything Sportage specific on their web site or catalog. Any of you guys running around with ARB suspensions on your Sporties?

Please see if your contact can give us more details on this suspension.
I too think it is the OME lift, but would happy to be proven wrong.
