All the eBay sellers had pictures of Toymota's of Mitsubitchies.
Anyway, long story short, I came across a picture of it:
IMO, I reckon it looks pretty sweet. So much so, that I reckon I would have bought it if I had seen some pictures of it at the time.

That to me doesn't look anything like ARB. I will be interested to know what they charge for that bar. Been Ironman they most likely are made in China.

To me that looks exactly like an ARB bar, almost nothing is different. The only thing I noticed is that the indicator lamp cutouts have rounded ends and the fog lamps have a smaller radius lip on the recess. There could be other small cosmetic differences that would only be apparent from seeing other photos.

Yeah gotta agree with Zander it's pretty much damn near the same as ARBs bar. ARB spend thousands on R&D then get ripped off by cheap copies!

Yep, looks similar, but has subtle differences. I think the bar retails around the $1.1k mark. As for ripping off ARB, I don't see how you can really do much more than what ARB have done and follow the natural lines of the JK to design a great looking bar to suit it.
