[Forced Offroad]

I know there is a thread on here about the new patrol, but I can't find it..
This can ge added to it by the mods

Anyways I wasn't a fan of the new look.
But I am now after ARB has finished with it

Looks like a cross between all bullbars, bit busy for my tastes.
no doubt comes with a great price tag too.
I'm sure ARB will sell plenty

Night into day with those LEDs......

[Hodge]

Seen this one all in black. It's the arb dandenong patrol. Looked the business.

[Forced Offroad]

With the bar being manufactured and designed in Australia, it will come with a heavy price tag. No doubt there will be a few Chinese built bars soon enough, now ARB have done all the had work for them.

I was under the impression there bars are not built in Australia any more....

And its not the front that's ugly its the rear and nothing will fix that other than a chop .

You are completely mistaken mate. All engineered and made in Kilsyth. They also have a plant in Thailand that supplies different markets.

I saw one when I was out at the ARB factory last week. Looks much better with the bar work on it. Still that rear C-pillar is the big design issue for me....and no diesel.......that is just plain ridiculous.

The bar just looks like anyone of their bars...... Boring as bat shit

[Forced Offroad]

This is from ARB's latest mag that comes out every few months.

You haven't seen the tjm version then...

What should the modern bar look like?

yep the TJMs etc are all boring as bat shit mate, all look the same and yes I'm aware they all serve a purpose blah blah blah.
I have no idea on what a modern bar should look like, all I know is i find them all boring and all look the same (similar)
Just my opinion and not an opinion that I'm trying to push on anyone else as we're all entitled to our opinions which is great for folk like me who are not very opinionated.

I'll be getting an Aussie mate custom tube jobbie because thats the look I like...... just my opinion

[megatexture]

Only problem is the airbag when getting a tube bar and all the testing . If not I'd have one also

I find most tube bars similar in design. But thats my opinion, And I own tube bars on my GQ AND Px ranger.

Would like to see how the xrox bar will fit around the new patrol.

[Covo71]

Has anyone seen uneek4x4.com.au. I think just a bit different than the norm. I like em!

I agree. All the tube bars look the same to me too....at the end of the day it's a bar for frontal protection.
Personally, if I'm gonna clean up a 'roo or a moo, I'd rather I had an ARB or tjm bar. At least they're properly crash tested, proven and they look stronger and more robust than a tube bar IMO.

but but but but..................... ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh nevermind

[Drewboyaus]

We could go on like this for days.....

[megatexture]

At the end of the day its a bloody ugly car lol

[Clunk]

ugly bar for an ugly car lol

[Clunk]

we could!!!!! lol

[megatexture]

ugly bar for an ugly car lol

No doubt overpriced bar for a overpriced car also

[Drewboyaus]

Someone has to pay for all the R&D for the likes of Roo, Tigerz, et al.

[growler2058]

but but but but..................... ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh nevermind

GO the TOOOOOOOOOOBBB man

[Drewboyaus]

GO the TOOOOOOOOOOBBB man

Toobs are delicious!

[GU_Mick]

I still can't see me ever buying one. It's just not what I am after. The mo diesel is a massive deal breaker. I'll be holding onto the td42ti for some time yet.

Arb, roo and tigers bars look nothing alike and would have to pay for there own testing and certification to prove they are airbag compatible.

[Clunk]

What's an air bag????

[megatexture]

You sit on it and it makes farting sounds

[Clunk]

Don't need to sit on anything to make a farting sound bud lol

Oh come on man..... You have to be kidding me......
ARB for GU:
37061

Roo Systems for GU:
37062

Even the Roo Systems badge us in the same place.....
There is no way Roo Systems have enough money to crash GU patrols (or any other 4x4 for that matter) during the design process to ensure airbag compliance as ARB have done over the years.....

[megatexture]

Yea I've seen them both in person and they look nothing alike ... And are you forgetting roo, tigers, emg magazine are one in the same... I think you underestimate the $$ they are involved in.

Even tigers 11 bull bars are airbag compatible.

I have to agree the rear - what tha, and no diesel, what were they thinking...
