Just received this pic from ECB of their MY12 WK2 bar approved for the V6...V8 and diesel being ADR tested now.




Also:

At this stage, we (ECB) will not be releasing a bar compatible with the Overland Model due to this model’s features such as accident avoidance and adaptive cruise control etc.

Looks like it fell off the front of a Kenworth!

Maybe!!! Better one than none and lucky too...A major headache for ECB to do a MY12 WK2 bar with those stupid screw-in tow points after having spent money on the MY11 bar only to be shafted by Jeep with the MY12 European front-end .....Reckon now that ECB has done one, ARB won't be far behind and probably be more like the WH ARB bar..only hope!!!..This one doesn't look to be winch compatible....I did ask that question but so far no answer on it.

Not going to win any styling awards....

Yeah better than nothing I suppose but unless I desperately needed it for a trip I'd be holding off to see what else comes up. ECB bars have been behind in styling and looks since mid 90's in my book.

What were the design people thinking, i have seen one in the flesh and the picture doesnt lie, yukkk.

Hmmmm....Think I could get use to it .... Looks better than the front modified by a roo ... Had that happen once and very nearly wrote of my car including me & family...Not a pleasent experience miles from anywhere.
