    I am not sure of the angle but ARB has managed to reduce it,

    AND their top of the range bar "the Sahara" DOES NOT HAVE RECOVERY POINTS.................

    A mate has the standard bumper and 2 inch lift like my car, I will compare angles one day,

    He is in WA, I am in QLD

    Measurements and angles I will obtain and pass on (for my bar) this weekend

    Yes it does...

    The TJM does look to be a tighter fit (going by Pedro's), but I prefer the more industrial look of the ARB to the 'softer' lines of the TJM - but that's a very subjective personal opinion and some will - some won't.

    ARB for me and I tend to agree that it looks like it sticks out too far. (I will just need to put more lift under it). I didn't think TJM do a steel bar - please correct if wrong. ARB do both a winch bar and a non-winch. In the UK, alloy might be a good option. The steel ones are pretty heavy.

    I have, and use the recovery eyes. A friend of mine is a mechanical engineer and has advised that they are okay to use for recoveries but recommends using a load equaliser strap and MAKE SURE ALL BOLTS ARE HIGH TENSILE!!

    You have a Land Rover so it's probably more important to have good rear recovery points as these are used to pull out 'cruisers and patrols.
