150 Bullbar pictures thread..

[Richoson]

Just finished putting a pair of led spots on my Smartbar and thought I'd put a pic up.

Hi Jasen

Are the foglights LED as well, and if so where did you get them?

Richo.

I like to think of the T3 as the smart-choice-bar. The LEDs were added before fitting. Have to thank Brains for reminding me about these. I would have done them in 6 months when the first bulb died.

Would love to know how to get 6 months out of the Park / Indicator bulbs

Mine came with the ARB black bull bar with winch. Ex police vehicle and they kept the spots.

Can honestly say (and I know sacrilege) I would have been happier with no bull bar at all. However I LOVE that T3 bar.

Actually if it was up to me I would have gone black ARB deluxe winch bar with black backlighting and black highlights.

Well here's what mine looked like with an ARB Sahara bar and Mako winch. Somehow they mysteriously changed to a TJM bar and no winch after the vehicle reached the dealership.



Sorry about the quality, got this pic from the previous owner.

Something to note in my normal driving position I can just see the top of the polished loop. This gives me a good idea where the front is. One of the big differences between the 120 and the 150 before the bar was fitted was that I had no idea if the front was 6mm or 600mm from anything in front. I know why the forward parking sensors are so popular now.

I found the same going from a 95 series to the 150, I only know where the front is thanks to the bullbar loops and the aerial mount. The 95 had a much better view of the bonnet area.

The rig is looking good MJ, I do like the T3 bar.

Very Nice! Gotta love the look of the T3 bars. Did you ask for the LED park lights or did they just come that way?

Good luck with the ark.

It has taken a few days but I finally got around to a couple of quick shots of the Blue storm colour coded T3 bar on my 150. It is still pouring with rain so these shots will have to do until I get some others to replace them.







I will update later... After all the animals have been collected 2 by 2...

Here is a pic of my vehicle fitted with a ARB Sahara Bar colour coded fitted with a set of IPF.

Hi Jayden, you seem to be missing the rubber cover over the winch inspection hole (the one on the top surface of the main beam). Did you take it off or did TJM just not supply it? I have the T13 bar but in black and it had the cover. The bar was on the Prado when I bought it so not sure if that was an optional extra.

The cover on my T13 lasted maybe the first 1500km - happy with my T13 otherwise glanced 2 decent Roos so its earning its keep!


Gave it a tub last Wednesday and just 12 months old and 60,000 km quite a few chips and wear marks and maring on the wings where the bumper infills contact when flexed - does lots of hi speed service tracks.

Excellent setup

Have a go at putting it on yourself, not that hard just take your time. I installed my ARB deluxe winch bar today, had never installed a bar before and found it pretty smooth sailing.

Nah - I don't enjoy working on cars. Better for someone like me to pay some other mug to do it.

Yeah mate, colour coded. Never really thought about leaving it black, I reckon it would be hard to beat the look of it coloured.

I was always going the ARB this time, but I was like you, saw this and just could not go past it. I really hate the plastic infills on the ARB As well and TJM was about $500 cheaper.

Geez. $500 cheaper? *rubs hands* Thanks for the reply too. I figured black wouldn't look too bad on graphite but looking at your pics, I think you're right about colour coded.

[The Alberto]

AK I was in the same boat and actually had the Sahara bar on the spec list. Then I saw Alberto's pics and it was all over. Next week I will post pics of a Blue Storm T3 with Britax X-ray 220s.

Glad I could help! Can't wait to see the blue storm version.

Looks colour coded, can you confirm? Did you consider black? I'd just decided on the ARB Sahara, and now I see that TJM have the T3... Damn choices... *&%#ing free market Pretty sure I'll go the T3 actually. Althought I like the look of the Sahara better, I'm not prepared to trust the local ARB mob with my car.
