    Based on the intended use, it has to be the standard winch bar. I prefer the look of the sahara bar though.

    Don't know if they had to make changes but my 12,000 fits in my ARB winch bar.

    He's right you know.... my son's favorite picnic chair... right between the driving lights..

    Go the Winch Bar.. I really like the look of the Sahara... but for protection it's chalk and cheese the way I see it.

    I saw a new V8 Troopie this morning with a Sahara bar with the extra bar work added "on top" to be more like the standard bar. Looked excellent. Best of both worlds.

    No I have a alum TJM t15 with winch. Love it

    Its light and has good protection...

    Not may bars will save you from a high speed roo hit and all D2 bars have crush cans that will give on a heavy hit.

    I think to that the ARB bar protudes to much..

    it appears i agree with the majority, in this case maggot, i think functionality overrides looks, second bar simply wouldnt do what you want, if you want frontal protection then a standard ARB winchbar would be my choice.

    Or i have a TJM bar and think it looks better than the ARB bar but thats just me. Matt

    Standard means business

    Yup, the standard bar looks the business.
    Those are expensive looking headlights if a wallabakangabat takes one out.

    And the sahar bar looks ghey full stop.


    See, problem solved
