Spoke to one of the guys at the ARB near me and he mentioned that there is a JK driving around brissy with a demo/test bar. Also said that they should be out in the next few weeks

Hey, must be an imported yank JK - left hand drive..

Or maybe the bar was sent up with a number plate on it.

The AEV bar can be had a bit cheaper from here if you dont need the winch mount. http://www.customjeepwranglers.com/jkfrontbumper.html works out to be $1040 aussie + shipping for the bar and tow hooks only.

I'm probably up for that - I do like the look of the AEV bar and it fits the fog lights! Yay... I take it the tow hooks can be used for recovery if you use a bridle strap or something. Could be convinced about the winch bar though...
Might sit with you and wait for proper pics of the Oz-spec ARB bar (the pictures shown here are left-hand drive - probably the test car ARB had last year)...

Yep, pretty much. That's not much different to what I just said in my previous post.

Guys, don't make any decisions about the bar based on that pic. It's not the Aussie bar. We are making a fog light blanking kit, so I'm assuming that it does incorporate the fogs. They're due out of the factory this week, so it's not long to wait.

Scrap this week... there's been some delays. There's now a need for a custom wiring change for the indicators - new ETA to be known soon.

Oh, the joys of being early adopters... At least us petrol drivers get oil filters!!!
