Will this bar be made of heavy steel like all the other bars on the market or are you going to have a good point of difference and make it out of alloy? I want to replace my mopar bar with something that fits the Jk lines better and won't rust but the heavy weight of the ARB and AEV bars is holding me back.
Being able to mount a AEV style skid plate would be good too.

Looks good. Ticks all the boxes for the sort of bar I'm looking for......when funds allow.

As others have asked, I'd be interested to see how the weight compares to other bars out there. Also, will the upper hoop be welded in place or will it be bolted on (and therefore can be removed if you want to)?

Weight is estimated at 41kg

If it was out of ally price would be around the $1600 mark.

the purpose of this thread is not only for a bull bar, its just the first product I put up.

It is also to gauge interest and generate ideas, like how many really want an ally bar?

Hi Dave, it looks like you'll need auxiliary indicators on there as well (same as the ARB bar) due to the wings blocking the indicator.
