SkyWalker I did actually read all those posts, most of which I had read before. I simply don't think that it is a single issue so we can agree to disagree. My 120 with an Ironman steel bar (that wasn't anywhere near as heavy as either a TJM or ARB bar, I know I hefted all 3 before I made a decision) wobbled like crazy like all the bars do. I cannot see the sides of my T3 bar on the 150, in fact I can barely see it at all so no idea whether it does the same but I guess it does. Might have to mount a GoPro on the bar and go for a drive. I would have expected that the wobble would become a problem with fatigue on the crush cans long before it would translate any of that to the chassis and then the inner guards. Extra weight over the front is an issue and exacerbates the up and down flex of the chassis but I never saw much of that on my 120. And if I was to give the bar a good whack it would wobble laterally but not discernably up and down at the chassis mounts. My opinion is it is a combination of things. I am also not sure that you can read much into the problem is mostly with ARB either, I would think that ARB had the majority of fittings to deep bush 120s and 150s but I could be wrong. If you have the majority of the product in the marketplace and there is a problem then it will show up. We have to be careful not to jump to conclusions or make sweeping generalisations.
As for weight the revised rear seats will make a bit of difference too. Did we ever establish whether the kerb weight includes full tanks or not? Mind you that is only 25kg or so of fuel.
