yeah fair enough, but for anyone looking fora road legal bar which can be moded to a stubby, the DBOR one is hard to go past.... if it was able to take a high mount i would have gone for it.......

DBOR bar does take a high mount.

I know this for 2 reasons,

1. i currently have a DBOR bar with a high mount
2. I designed it that way



Regarding the indicators, I need to do a little bit more research, but I think possibly having the indicators on the flares plus the fact that the wings are not angled up as much as ARB (bar sits higher) the grill mounted ones are still visible from 45 degree might mean I'm ok


Nothing modular about this bar, if you want a modular bar buy DBOR's bar.

Only thing to think about is you're essentially trying to compete with ARB with no real outstanding and obvious difference on first impressions. It may be hard to steal sales numbers from such a big company...even if your bar has a lower price.

Anyway, It does looks a nicely styled and functional bar to me. I would have definitely considered it when buying.

Good luck.

Looks promising. If I wouldn't have gone with AEV already, I would be interested. And yes, alloy sound very interesting as well.

PS: What I miss in the JK market are proper sliders which fit to the stock flares

As i've told you Dave a few times i really like the upswept wings - makes it look part of the vehicle not just an add on - but i've already got an ARB... so...

However it if was wider than stock then that would be really cool the gap betwwen the width of the bar and the wide flares really could be improved.

P.S. having had an allow bar .... i'd stick with steel.
