TJM Wrangler Front Bar

[jeepilot]

yeah wooders there is to many hole and does look a bit flimsey....the "T" shaped hole is for a hi-lift but those square ones are usless im sure....but not to bad for something out of TJM

[Gildo]

Would the T holes fit a dragchain?

Are the rectangular holes in the front for ventilation or for something else?

The top cross tube looks too long - the bar would look to be in more proportion if it was shorter. Only really needs to be long enough to protect the winch.

I agree with previous comments about the recovery eyes. I'd prefer to see front mounted recovery points next to the vertical uprights (similar to the WARN ones).

Why is there such a big space between the bar and the front quarter panels? Looks weird.

Actually I do like the smooth lines of the bar - but IMHO the t cutouts are negated because he bow shackles are probably a better place to put the HiLift.
It's a neat bar - just needs some finishing IMHO....

I think it looks good timmy, good valve for what you paid.

It's not full width for the flares. but wider than the guiards. (id say it would be full width on a standard wrangler flare, but my 8" ones do dwarf it some)

It seems to hang a long away down under the guard impeding on approach angle, (i think this is due to my 2" BL)

Not sure why there are so many cut outs in the bar above, (not the finished product yet)

From the pics above the material of the bar seems a bit thin, (not sure on thickness or weather this is simply thinner because its not the final product)

IMHO the horizontal bar & mount looks a bit out of date, (i agree, but the flat plate wrapping on the 2 posts wasnt introduced until the last minute as to pass airbag tests)

And the recover eyelets are clearly not thick enough.

Honestly I'm not sure what this offers over the ARB & IMHO doesn't bring anything new to the design table....

will know more in a couple of weeks
