Simply I don't believe they see it as a big enough market at this time.

Has anyone put the hard word on TJM they do make some nice winch bars.
Thnx Fester, on one of our forums, someone did post that they had a reply from TJM to say 'no, not going to produce one'.

At least there is a definitive answer from TJM.

I can understand ARB's take on the Aus market.... It's not that big.

However, you reckon the American market is big for ARB. And the Jeep is the taxi of the US...

Surely there is a business case for the volumes being produced there?

This is exactly what my earlier post was about. It would seem to me to be fairly obvious that the Jeep marque is not being supported by ARB .......

I started a thread on JeepGarage trying to get our US counterparts to contact ARB and support us regarding this subject. Unfortunately there hasn't been a good response.

I know that when I used to travel to the US, bullbars didn't seem as common as they are over here. Might just have been a west coast thing.

I've raised the topic on the Caravanersforum also. Some interest, but suspect everyone there's just on one big holiday........cruisin'

I saw an article today on ARB products for the new FJ Cruiser. Wonder how many FJ's have been sold in Oz that will need the aftermarket accessories compared to the WK2? Hope they've recouped the R&D costs on that little venture.
