150 Bullbar pictures thread..

[setout Lurker Find all posts View Profile Close setout]

Hi all, long time lurker.
I'm looking at finally adding a bull bar to my 2013 (Updated front) VX.

TJM T13 + install + Wiring for sensor + colour match $3095
Plus a 2" lift $4835 all up

ARB Summit Steel + install + fog light kit, + loom + fit lights + colour match $3244.65
Plus a 2" lift $4927 all up

Opposite Lock never got back to me with a quote for the bar.
I received 2 quotes for a 2" lift $1890 & $2180.

Any advice would be much appreciated

look at fit for purpose and bang for buck options don't stick to one brand

I have the TJM T13 bar love it
but TJM or ARB were never really a really Option for Suspension.

this forum is a good place to research and get some good feedback if you dig below the brand loyalty comments

Finally pressed the go button for a colour coded ARB deluxe winch bar today at the Perth 4x4 show. Cant wait to have it fitted so I can get the Lightforce and UHF mounted and change it from looking like a soccer mums car. Wasn't able to get the sales folk to budge on the standard 10% show price but thats what I get for going with the bar with the ARB badge on it.

I've taken the plunge as well and ordered the new ARB Summit Bar, colour coded in white. Should be ready to go on sometime in December. Counting down the days!

Hey Gamble if you don't mind me asking how much did you pay I'm looking at getting one after Christmas but I'm still deciding on the summit bar or the deluxe bar. What made you choose the summit bar over the deluxe and was there much of a price difference?

Regards

To be honest, it really came down to aesthetics when looking at the summit and deluxe side by side. Just thought the summit looked the biz. I decided that price wasn't the driver between the two given I'd just shelled out on a brand new GXL, and chose what I liked but there wasn't that much in it. I've sent you a message with pricing.

Dead right Gamble, I went the other way and chose the TJM bar as I didn't like the way the ARB bars don't follow the lines of the tear drop lights on the facelift 150.

Don't be shy taking your ARB colour coded bar back to ARB to be repainted or replaced each year. My white bar was rusted on all edges after about 6 months, it went back in and was resprayed, now 10 months later its going in for replacement. Great warrantee, rubbish equipment!

Hey Gamble, I Would love to see pics of the bar when you get it.

Looking at the same one, I like the look of the Deluxe bar but am considering the summit bar.

TJM has a special on bars at the moment, as well as other parts. I put a T13 on mine 150 last week, $300 off, so just on $2400, colour coded, installed. Would have been sub 2K installed without paint.

Looks great, will post a pic when I get an opportunity.

Can anyone confirm if the AFN bull bar (a) will allow existing front sensors to be transferred across (and still work properly), (b) is fully crash tested for safety and airbag sensitivity, (c) can be coloured white.
PS: anyone know what the ARB alloy bar for a 150 weighs?
