front bar, suggestions ?

i need a bar, partly for aestetics if im honest, but mainly becuase i need a mounting point for lights, andtennas, whinch ect. so if anyone has ideas on manufacurers and reviews on performance, and also, i dont wanna make my car look like a road train.

There was someone selling one of the official plastic ones on here the other day (along with a load of other bits.)
I have one and personally think they look the best but they offer no real protection and do get in the way off road a bit...

I haven't tried any bars but I like the look of the xrox and the offroad armoury ones.

Here's the xrox one

And there's also the ARB one too..

I don't know what any are actually like though..

Haha if you want to make it high tech you could just bolt a plank of timber to the front.

the xrox one is for billionares, that i am not, arb is abit too... arb, like a road train. and i cant get hold of offroad armoury where i am (australia). i just want a nice bit of protection for around $600 AUD,

Ahh Australian aye.. Haha. I'm from Nz so I have the same problem with getting parts as you!
Try your local engineering and see what kind of thing they could do for you. I'm sure a box of XXXX goes a long way there aye?

im origionally a pom, so now i have a jimny im dying that ive moved away from the parts. thinking about building one tbh from chromoly, just airbag complience is an issue. show xxxx to a tadie, id have a bar in seconds. works the same with sheep over there ?

Yeah I don't know about the airbag compliance stuff. I think it's like, if there is a frontal impact, the airbag sensors need to be able to operate the same as with a standard bumper. Or something along those lines.. Don't quote me though as I don't really know.
Haha. I think if I offered a sheep to anyone here I could get anything. But in saying that, Australia actually has more sheep than Nz.
