Smartbar
Evening all
Fitted a Smartbar to my 150 a few weeks ago. The non-winch bar weighs about 25 Kg. From what I've read (mainly anecdotal) and seen (on the Smartbar site) they seem to offer reasonable protection without the need for a suspension update. The bar isn't cheap but the total cost probably works out about the same if a suspension upgrade is added to the cost of a heavier bar. And they are supposed to be even better for pedestrians than the Prado without one (Adelaide university did considerable reasearch on this).
