    Help me Pick which bar to buy

    I need help deciding which bar to buy for the D2.

    I travel long distances on country roads, often at dusk/dawn and night. I really like the ARB Sahara bar, but the lack of protection worries me..

    Should I go with the Sahara Bar or the Standard ARB winch bar?

    Pics below of each (thanks Slunnie and Brooksy)

    I would prefer the standard winch bar. Better protection. A Roo will make a mess of your vehicle. Traveling in the country around dusk on a regular basis makes it more a matter of time than if.

    I reckon the ARB Sahara bar looks really cool, but for frontal protection they don't come any better than the ARB standard winch bar.
    Cheers

    Hmmm, it may do, but I'm not sure. I thought the cutout in the PS mount was to fit the gearbox on the 12,000's. It's definately not for the 9000's.

    Go the one you want...

    Neither will prevent a big roo on the outer edges from doing damage....

    The std hoops are good for knocking sticks and brush away though...

    The name says it all - the sahara bar is for use in deserts where there are neither animals nor trees. In fact, I am not sure what the hoop on it is supposed to be for.
