ARB products TRUE OR FALSE

Is this just rumour or true that ARB bullbars are made in Thailand ?? I always thought they were made in Queensland (head office). I purchased a bullbar off ebay this week and rang the actual manufacturer in WA. Known as a Sahara Bar same as ARB's bar identical winch compatible and air bag. I rang the company prior to bidding to see wether he did infact sell this bar and was his own product or was selling as an agent for ARB as the bars are identical even down to the same brand of lower fog and blinker lights.. Was infact his bar but imported from Thailand said about 3 blocks away from where ARB bars are made ??? His price new was $1100, ARB's $2100+ $400 for the lower lights. Bloke in WA reckons you are paying and extra $450 per letter $450 for the A ETC. Either way Im happy with the quality of the bar I purchased. BUT true or false in regards to ARB I have no idea. Maybe some one from ARB that gets on here can verify. Regards Steve M
