Opposite Lock

I looked at the TJM bars and i didnt like them a lot at all.

The T13 bar sits noticeably lower than the ARB and the T15 bar, do its not going to do anything for your approach angle. IMO more of a commercial type bar.

The T15 however has grown on me as i have seen a few around, but they fit right up to the body line, and as we know the body moves a fair bit when negotiating terrain so make of that what you will. Plus being alloy means lots of elbow grease to keep it looking nice.

The ECB bars IMO are not worth looking at, sure they might function well as a bar but who said that function and design cant work hand in hand... ???

yeah i went up to melaney yesterday and while we were there managed to see a TJM, ARB, Toyota and ECB bull bar in the flesh, was interesting!

The ECB definately lives up to it's name of "big tube bar" it's interesting to say the least!

ARB still the clear winner!

those that have one, can someone let me know the size of the fog light hole? i saw some Narva 10cm spotties today for $110 at Autobarn, thought they could be a sub for the $350 IPF ones!

breakup of the quote from Coopers Plains was

$1,536 for Bar
$ 220 for colour
$ 240 for install.
--------
$1,996 all up.

Then

$ 399 for lights
$ 140 to install
--------
$ 539 all up.


total $2,535. discounted to $2,400.

got quote back from another store for $1,845 for the bar coloured and installed.

will probably install the lights myself to knock that bit back a bit further.

back to the original store tomorrow to see if they'll better it and or get it installed sooner!

McBain, the factory wiring would be their from the factory lights and you can get narva foggies for under hundred bucks and install yourself, that is what i did when i put the ARB bar on the Jeep.

Saw a set of them today actually and had the same thought!! the lights in the quote above are the IPF 900xs spotties for up the top!

Matt,

Happy New year mate. Has OL installed the bar yet? If so, do you have any pics?
