I'm in the same boat with getting bull bar and suspension. Got a quote from ARB $2100 for the bar and $2k for suspension. But I like the uneek bar which is $1425 plus delivery.

My neighbour pushed in the corner of my plastic one in a reversing mishap and I'm looking at the metal options. The uneek one looks really good, I'm going to look around and see where I can get them.

Has anyone else settled on any others in the meantime? any post decision thoughts or regrets?

I will likely go with the uneek it's just a matter of giving myself a spare day to install it

I have had the ARB winch bar with hoop for 8 years, the bar is great, the indicators sucked in water at any opertunity though and its been a bit disapointing ARB havent made a high quality sealed unit. Remedy has been to replace with sealed ones off eBay for about $60 plus solder and a pack of dual wall heat shrink if you don't have any. I have been in an accident that pushed one wing in about 20mm and wrote the other car off unfortunately. for $300 at the local pannelo the bar straightened right out and looks basically new so as far as I'm concerned mine has more than paid for itself. Also if I was getting another vehicle and bar I would definitely be fitting it myself as the ARB centre job was pretty rough from the electrics point of view. I would also opt for hoopless and without indicator bar if I was buying again (not available when I purchased mine) mostly because its a bit lighter for little strength difference and can be a pain for some driving light configurations (it does have mounts on it which I use for a uhf aerial so I'd have to do something else with them.

Generally you would need a winch to pull yourself forward to get past an obstacle rather then backwards
