Hi all - Just after some advice on bull bars. I have a Series II Disco & need a winch compatible bull bar. Have priced tjm & arb. Tjm are about $150 cheaper at this stage.
Does anyone have any feed back on the 2. I can't get a second hand one anywhere!
Cheers
Jason

Mate every time I head out to
Cunnamulla I useally clean up a Roo near
St George. 5 Roo's so far with the ARB with no damage, mostly around 100kph with a succession of demolished spotlights, one spotty lense from the d/s fell out due to the shock of the impact on the the p/s tip of bullbar. Hit a big roo on the left side one morning & thought he would defineately bend it, no damage to the ARB but a big crease in L/H side guard from his tail. Yeh ! I would say go ARB, but if you are going to do some serious outbacking, consider putting steel mesh between the bars as the roos have a tendacy to go through the openings on the normal bars. DO NOT consider putting on a Alloy Bar as they are useless against roo's. I had a Nissan Patrol go past me one morning at a great rate of Knots & up the road was a fresh dead sheep, got to the next town & the bloke was there inspecting the damage. You would swear he hit a Buffalo, the Bullbar was a wreck & both spotties pointing to the heavens.

Hi Shane - there seems to be an overwhelming lean towards arb bars. I think my query has been answered.
Thanks for the response.
Cheers
