Just looked at my visa statement $1450 not installed for bar and winch plate, $1300 fitted is a sweet deal.

Agreed, I'd like to see it without the fugly colour coding but. Does anyone have pricing?

What I liked about the TJM bar in the flesh, ( looks much better than that picture ) is that it shows a lot more of the Jeep signature grille. It has a cleaner line too. Cant just judge by the pictures as thought the AEV bar looked good in them until I saw it in the flesh. The curves dont suit a Jeep at all unless it was a KJ and was way to fussing looking too. Bits hanging off it all over the place. Both the ARB and that one have the bumperettes too which effect approach angle as well. Like the fact the winch in the TJM bar sits lower too so wont effect airflow through the radiator as well or hides the Jeep grille.

Here is a few pics of the new tjm gear, front bar is near complete and ready for production but the rear bar is still in development but will have prices for both soon!!!

Not bad but i thort jeeps had to have the spare in the middle.
Might look odd with a 35" spare offset?!?
Least they put a swing out carrier on it unlike ARB.
Oops was that a dummy spit........ sorry.
So looks like the US made ones are winning, come on Oz manufacturers pull ya fingers out!!!

I like the swing out carrier and the Jerry Can holder but they aren't serious about those lights/reflectors on the rear bar.... are they??

They look look $15 trailer lights from Kmart.

They probably are... so when u constantly break them on the trail doing hardcore offroad tracks... it only costs u 15 bucks to replace them :P

Yep gotta agree they look cheap, tho i 'm pretty sure they are actually about $120 ea! Making for expensive trail damage repair.
