    Anyone good with photoshop?

    Less protection for starters (the curve on Rijidij provides a wrap inline with the flare)

    And I would say you'll find the line just wouldnt look right, chopped off below a hoop

    Sorry. that is a question about Rijidij's bar, the link shows a tube bull bar and the ends are tapered rather than bend round, could the hybrid bar ends be finished with the ends like the picture in the link?

    LOL. The car in the photo was my 2011 Defender. The bar in the photo is a Rovacraft bar, so even after photoshopping it may not give you a good representation.

    Probably best to PM Murray directly to see if it can actually be done.

    If you want to look at a Murray's hybrid bar in standard form in the flesh send me a PM and we'll see if we can work something out.

    Thinking of getting one of these rijidij bars on my puma. How does the weight compare to say an ARB or TJM bar? Standard suspension set up on my 110 so wondering if it would sag at the front like the heavier bars would

    Hi Mark,
    As I make all the bars myself anything can be done, within reason.
    The Hybrid bar could have the tapered ends, but in my opinion it would look better with the curved ends as they follow the shape of the guard.

    It would be good if you can arrange to have a look at Loneranger's bar, I think they look better in the flesh than in pictures.

    Cheers, Murray

    Hi,
    The standard Rijidij bar weighs approx 37kg and the Hybrid approx 42kg, no winch.
    Looking at other threads it seems an ARB bar weighs approx 45kg.

    With a standard bar I guess you would be ok with stock suspension, but if you're thinking of attaching a winch at all it would be wise to upgrade as there's a lot of extra weight forward of the front axle.

    Cheers, Murray

    As I recall ours was about 45kg. Haven't noticed any difference on the suspension on our 110. It was easy to lift and bolt on. The hardest bit was undoing all the padding and tape. That took about 3 times longer than what it did to install it because it was wrapped up so well.

    Got a couple of pics of the installation process on our build thread (loneranger's 110 and pocket rocket's 90)
