    ARB BAR vs TJM BAR

    Hi Everyone
    Just a quick question i am looking at gettin a bullbar for my new 150 series gxl in white and was wondering which way to go I am tossing up between the t15 deluxe bar in alloy from tjm and the painted white steel bar from tjm being the t13 deluxe bar but I have noticed that most people have arb bars is arb better than tjm ? Please help :?

    Hi Doug,

    I looked at ARB & TJM & went for the TJM T13 outback steel bar. Very happy with it, especially as it is a "bumper replacement bar" no cutting required, as it was designed for the 150 series.


    Cheers

      Doug,
      Ofcourse ARB are better than TJM :!: :lol: :lol: Nahh, I suppose it all boils down to personal perference and yes, it sure is a tough decision to make.

      Tasprado's TJM http://www.pradopoint.com/viewtopic.php?f=38&t=9195


      Cookiemonsta's ARB http://www.pradopoint.com/viewtopic.php?f=38&t=10237


      Two awesome White 150 build ups. I like the colour contrast with Tasprado's TJM bar but I prefer Cookiemonsta's ARB bar for the overall shape and build. That's not a biased opinion , I went for a totally different look - ARB Sahara...

      Do you plan on getting other gear? You might be able to work out a deal if you bought everything at either ARB/TJM like I did. As REV has stated, since the bumper isn't cut, you could probably make a dime or two out of it if you went for a TJM bar.

        ARB BAR vs TJM BAR

        I looked into this one a lot aswell mate, I ended up going with the tjm t13. Not that it's any better than the Arb. But when I bought it at the show tjm was willing to throw in a snorkel aswell and arb was only doing awnings. So I ended up with snorkel and bar with one dollar change from 2k. Goes on next Monday, can't wait.

          Re: ARB BAR vs TJM BAR

          I think with the 150 the bar numbers are 50/50 however in the 120 days the TJM bar was fugly, seriously not good, u would not buy it. I think TJM have come a long way with bars and now their is nothing between the two, it would be personal preference or who gives the best deal!!!

            Ive got a TJM they just look better.
            The ARB bars are getting a bit old the fog light area is the bit I like least I think it time for them to bring out a new bar as they look dated.

                  Haha! Scoreeee tyres provide better traction and spotties provide better night sight... Just a couple more you can use to test the limits Anyway, well done mate, I think it'll be the first tjm white on white buildup here. Will be looking out for photos!

                    Re: ARB BAR vs TJM BAR

                    I too have spent a lot of time pondering which bar to go with when i eventually get approval to buy. Last night whilst contemplating the pros and cons of each, i had a thought. Supposing i crash my car and the front end needs replacing, would the TJM bar be cheaper to replace because it's a complete bumber replacement, whereas the ARB would require both a new bar and a bumper that would be cut down again?

                    I don't really see it as being a big problem because i'd expect my comprehensive insurance to cover the cost, but it's still got me wondering...

                      Re: ARB BAR vs TJM BAR

                      Can I ask what sort of deals people are getting.
                      AGES said
                      "I looked into this one a lot aswell mate, I ended up going with the tjm t13. Not that it's any better than the Arb. But when I bought it at the show tjm was willing to throw in a snorkel aswell and arb was only doing awnings. So I ended up with snorkel and bar with one dollar change from 2k."
                      I have tried TJM in Geebung, and its list price only. I know they have a deal at the moment with a Magellan GPS from their newsletter or for 4WD Monthly Magazine subscribers a recovery kit with both a Bullbar and Ox Winch package. AGES deals kills those offers. Anyone in Brisbane getting any good deals on Bullbars ?
                      2010 GXL D4D, MT Baja 265/70x17, TJM T13. TJM 11,000 lb Winch and Underbody Guards. GME TX3400, BRC Quad Breathers.

                        ARB BAR vs TJM BAR

                        Hey there hoona,
                        I should probably mention that I had to push for the deal that I got, I insisted that the current deal (bar& awning) did not suit me. Plus I had heard that last years shows special was a bar plus free snorkel (from pp). So I pushed for that. And they came to the party. Maybe helped that I was talking to the manager of the shop...

                              Hi Everyone..
                              Can any of the Adelaide crew advise what sort of deals they are getting in Adl..
                              TJM have quoted me $2700 on a T13 colour coded which included the fog lights.
                              This seems to be way more than prices people are quoting in this thread !!!
                              They also said show pricing (Late Feb) will be around the same there is
                              usually just inclusions thrown in !!!

                              Confused :?: :?:
                              JACK EM' HIGH!.. Bush Pigs Can't Climb!
