I feel that a black bar on the white car is really a good option. It interferes least with the 150 curves. I can't understand why neither of the main manufactorers Tjm/Arb do not produce bars that look more harmoniously.

Went for TJM over ARB because of looks and compatibility with Tjm's scrub bars and side rails.
I like the black on white look, what do you guys think?

If it is yours, is it genuine or was the sticker added later?
Thanks

Has anyone got photo's/pictures of the TJM scrub bars that are integrated to the side steps? I have seen the steps, but not the scrub bars.
After nearly 2 years of the 150 being available, I don't understand why ARB still say their side steps are "under development". Surely it doesn't take that long, it seems to me they were put in the too-hard-basket and will probably never come...

He was saying one of his mates who works up in Arnhem land hit a buffalo not so long ago with one and the Hilux came out much better than expected.

not sure I agree completely, how do they not help with winches?
You can fit a winch to a smartbar, there is a winch option available for the Prado.
When it comes to front ground clearance, you really need to check all bars, many will actually make it worse. ARB are a known offender in this area.stepped up the a 200 LC for towing,
but had a 2012 and 2010 150 Prado GXL auto diesel in Graphite with Bridgestone D697 A/T. Dobinson C59-300/325 and Bilsteins. Accessories : two baby seats. Sidewinder`s Dual Battery isolator and rear power outlet kit. Pirana Battery tray, Hayman Reese towbar with Toyota wiring kit and Brains`s guard.
