The weight of the bulbar is approx. 45kgs.". The AFN bulbar is not "loopless" btw. So the AFN bulbar is actually 5kg lighter than the ARB and the ARB is AT LEAST 5kg lighter than the Ironman. But yes, lighter isn't necessarily better if it impacts quality. Does anyone have any info on how the AFN bulbar compares to the ARB bulbar besides weight?

AFN bar.
Loopless and loop style

Yeah and the quoted 45kg AFN Bullbar, which equates to 32kg added to the vehicle (because the original bumper and other parts are removed), is the loop style... not the loopless. AFN clarified this with me directly.

That loopless one is actually not as aesthetically awful as I was expecting. Bit pointless though if you take a kangaroo to the headlamps.

Thanks crash486. Can you please share some info on the Hamer’s bad reviews? What were the complaints about? It looks great and I am considering it. Thanks.

Well that was back in 2021. People reported twisted bars, poor alignment etc.
Things change with market feedback. I have no first-hand knowledge of anyone fitting them or issues.
