Thread: D2a Bullbar options - ARB, TJM, ECB and ...?

Don't just take the word of a single ARB store, try a few others. They are very inconsistent with their service. What one store says is no longer available another store will sell you.

I might ask TRS when I get to SA

I asked for a quote on a Sahara bar - they didn't say none in stock

"Sahara Bar for the Discovery 2a $1798.00
Plus $200.00 fitting charge

Or ask a few more questions at the store you're in. I was told I couldn't get side steps from Artarmon ARB and they had no current plans to make any in a reasonable time frame.

The guy who served me ended up calling some other stores, and found some up in Brisbane. (Shipped down at no charge)

Only shopped there once so can't comment, however was quite happy that they did the homework for me.

You'll be lucky.
Sahara bars are bleh anyway, why would you want a more expensive bar that doesn't cover your $$$ update headlights

Looks way better - like way way way better - and has fog light fittings.
But each to their own and after years with the Sahara bar my original headlights are still intact...

If I recall correctly, the ARB bars stick out further, the winch if fitted is fitted to the bar directly. The TJM ones don't stick out and use a dedicated winch cradle that sits between the chassis rails. I believe the TJM ones have a better approach angle than the ARBs. Depends on whether you want a protection for highway travel or whether you go off road.
The ARB bars look more aggressive, the TJM ones look more subtle.

That's entirely subjective.
How many of our bouncing friends have you knocked down in that time?
The roo I hit would have smashed my left hand side if I had a Sahara...

The Deluxe bar for the D2a also has fog light fittings to use the factory fog lights, probably the exact same fittings as with the Sahara.
