Trail-rated in the States means "looks good and can spend the morning on a forestry trail with a squirrel or two on the track". Big difference!

You tour in a patrol or landcruiser and do serious wheeling in a Jeep

those J&J guys are not the sort of businessmen that I will be dealing with. They gave me a price on the bullbar ($1795) and when I ring back a couple of days later they say its now $1995. That's not how you run a business IMHO.
So, yes, whilst I might be cutting off my nose to smite my face, I told them not to worry about it. I'd rather pay the insurance excess when I hit a roo than deal with these sorts of people.
I notice in 4wd action a couple of months ago there was an article on some custom bullbar makers in Leichardt (Sydney), so I might contact them.

Thanks Wanderer
Polished bar is now on & with tapered 80mm skirt + air vent slots for lower radiator I needed just minor mods to prior front 4mm steel bash plate. Tow hooks also remounted (horizontally) so as to maxmise approach angle (which is clearly better than initial version of J&J bar). These are in 2nd lot photos along with custom rock rails/sliders made by Hugh Dunbar of Hazzard Engineering SA : hazzardengineering@live.com.au

Rock rails & sliders have 3 steel bracing brackets each side with 7 bolts per bracket extending out to "chassis" rail. Can handle high lift jack if needed. Plastic sill panel moulds + front mud flaps to go back on shortly.

Bull Bar
I am getting my J @ J Bullbar fitted in a couple of weeks. Am having a dark grey powder coat that looks great on the dark grey of the Commander. They have been good to deal with and I think that the pricing is Ok. I have looked at the bar and it is as pretty as can be but is certainly functional. I am going west in December and hope the Roos appreciate it. Pics to follow when job is complete.
