Re: ARB BAR vs TJM BAR

Hey Lads,

Went to drop my car off to TJM on thursday evening for my install on friday and turned out that my colour coating on my T13 bar hadn't been finalised. The guys at TJM were very good
about it an even offered me a loan vehicle when i was going to bring my car in next when they had finished painting my bar. Was really wanting the car ready so i could take it up to Jurien bay on the weekend for some fishing but looks like it will be another couple of weeks now.

While i was there decided to enquire about a winch, suspension & DP Chip... so now i'm going to get those installed too booked in for 2nd MArch.

Total make over
TJM OX 9500 winch
Recovery Kit
DP Chip
XGS Gold Suspension
T13 bull bar colour coated
Decided to go for 200 Xray HID's instead of the 220's cos the 200's have the LED lights around them and the 220 doesnt..(yes i use to own a GTR R35 and riced that too)
Icom-440 UHF + Antenna
Air compressor
Maxtrax recovery Kit

I'll be taking pics and uploading as soon as it's done....Do you guys reckon i would still need the maxtrax??? :mrgreen:

Re: ARB BAR vs TJM BAR

Just had this TJM bar fitted by TJM in Perth. That was a hard decision as I did not like any of the full bars because of the butterfly wings. So this is a compromise.


Hope I posted the picture correctly.

Re: ARB BAR vs TJM BAR

Yes it is the same/similar to the Sahara bar from ARB. TJM do not use/cut the original bumper, they have infill panels instead. I had a TJM bar on my Landrover and that was a seriously good bar, survived a few roos and an eagle and lots of work like pushing over fences and trees. I hope that this new bar is as strong.
Cheers Terry

Re: ARB BAR vs TJM BAR

Hi Terry,
TJM type 3 looks great. Was in their store recently when I was ordering mine in storm blue. The guys said they were about to fit a white one, so must have been yours. Small world I guess. Hope you're satisfied with their work.

Re: ARB BAR vs TJM BAR

Hi Greg. yes the work they do is fine and they are good people to deal with. They gave me a lift into Freo so that I could spend a few hours there while they did the work. Very happy with the bar but you can feel the difference in the steering... a little heavier but I am getting used to it now. Hope that you will be pleased with yours.
Cheers
Terry

Re: ARB BAR vs TJM BAR

Good service sells products.
Glad you're happy with the crew at TJM. I am still playing the waiting game - at least the ship has arrived.
Will try and post some pics when the main mods are done.
Greg.

Re: ARB BAR vs TJM BAR

I get my T15 Alloy bar on at TJM Perth next wed as well as airbags I hope. I hope the wait has been worth it and the craftmanship is top notch.
