Looks real good but I much prefer the Bull Bar (personal preferance). The color matching is real slick.

Looks fantastic!!! Who did the paint work? Would you recommend them?

My friend had a Sahara Bar on a F250 last year, I wonder if it was one of the first to ship to the states.

Again - awesome rig

Thanks. I got it through www.4x4rockshop.com

I priced it around for a couple of days and he matched the lowest price of $1070 shipped. He's local to me, so that was a BIG plus since I was shorted a few parts by ARB. All that got straightened out, and I painted it myself. The paint is holding up really well. I had to sand the hell out of the powdercoat to rough it up enough, then I primed it before laying down the base and clear.

Ya i just got ahold of ARBUSA and they gave me a local distributor...I think its a much nicer setup than the TJM-but triple the price

Did you use there 'bolt on fogs' or fab your own brackets?

When I ordered mine, the fogs came with the bumper. I'd suggest getting their set if they aren't too pricey. The TJM's I priced were over $700 (T-15). For only ~$350 more, I went with the ARB since it was better looking (to me) and was airbag compatable (on a DD). I also like the addition of intergrated fogs over the Bull Bars and TJMs.

I haven't seen it yet... that's pretty cool of him. I emailed ARBUSA (and samsoffroad.com) yesterday and sent them a couple of pics and told them they could use them if they wanted. I got alot of good response from them including questions on if I had an OME suspension or lockers. I WISH. Anyway, they ~may~ end up posting some on their website as well, but there's some legality issues since it is "manufactured and engineered" for a prado...

I just got an email from the president of ARB-USA. He sent the pics to the marketing dept of ARB Australia and they want some professional shots to use in their catalog and possibly in their annual calendar. I just want to know when my free lockers and on-board air will arrive after I send him the pics...
