Hi there, guys! Nice pictures in the thread here. I've recently got some LED lights from ledoutfitters store. I will post my pictures here when I install them. I can't wait for it

Picked up my new 2.8L 150 on Friday in Silver Pearl, can't believe I'm saying this, but I think I am getting a TJM T3 Bar. I have always gone ARB deluxe bars in the past, and was going to go Sahara bar, but price difference of at least $500 has done it for me, and the service at ARB Regency Park SA lacking! In saying that if ARB matched TJM T3 colour coded bar price of $2400 installed, I would consider!

Any one regret going T3 on facelift?

I saw one the other day it had an AFN bar it looked pretty good. Nice lines around the headlights.

Ha ha ... The ECB bar has the aesthetic charme of a double T-girder ... no offense ... but for me that must have taken a lot of denial to "design" that bar to fit the 150.

While I agree the chrome look on the dark red isn't pretty, did you see my attempt at colour coordination on page two?
Do you still think it looks crap? Not that that matters in the least LOL.
In my opinion, the ECB is far better structurally designed and manufactured, when compared to the tack welded, Chinese bars that are overwhelmingly most popular in this thread. Only last week I saw the questionable quality of Chinese steel still in the news.
I can accept this is my opinion and that it is only important to myself.

Anyway, my post is more in disappointment and not meant to induce flaming.
The line, "you don't know what you've got til it's gone" comes to mind. Hopefully the Redcliffe crowd can power on.
Fortunately, I see a lot more ECBs on Prados than what this thread indicates.

Oh, btw Sydneybloke, yes - I DO ride an Avalanche GT3, although I have been told I'm way to old to still ride a pushy! :lol:

I have the T3, not only cheaper than the Sahara, but i think it looks better - shaped to suit the 150 lights, instead of covering the parkers....

I've no experience with the TJM T3 bar sorry, but I'm, considering a T15 steel winch bar on a new "2016" 2.8 L prado...at $900 (plus a standard fitting cost), it seems to be good value, and I'll get a winch for what I save over say an ARB delux Bar. The ARB delux bar looks to be very popular and also looks great...but are there any big disadvantages with the TJM T15 bar folks? ( I know it doesn't have fog lights)...but has anyone got a TJM T15 bar..or regret getting one?

I have the T3 on my facelift. As other have said, I chose it for the reason that it suits the tear drop lights on the facelift much better than ARB bars. Again, its a personal opinion but I reckon the TJM bars look much better on the facelifts.

Thanks all, I've ordered the T3 bar in silver pearl colour, they are doing $250 cash back until Dec 31. All installed is costing $2400.

I went back to ARB and told them this prior to going ahead, in their arrogance the response was never heard of a T3 bar, then looked at the pics and noticed it looked good and similar to Sahara. I asked for re-quote, best they could do was $3000 installed!

Easy choice for me, will post some pics when it goes on in January.

Pics of the new bar, after having the car for a month, loving it as Prado #3. Xray lights cost $300/pair.

I picked up a cheap Outback bar for my 2.8L GX. Is that the same as a T15?

I've been very happy with it, but whenever I see an ARB Deluxe bar in person I still think the ARB looks better. Just something about it that seems to be of better quality.. Hard to place it. The ARB does stick out a fair bit more though. I also think the TJM has better angles for clearing steps etc. By the way I have owned an ARB deluxe bar on a both an NW Pajero and a R51 Pathfinder.

If I hadn't picked up a used Outback bar for $700, I would have saved up the $2.5K for an ARB bar..

I'm pretty sure what you have is the T13. Pics would help to confirm. Does it have the T slots in the front for use with a high lift jack?

Thanks Fido, you are correct. It is a T13.
