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

The bar just looks like anyone of their bars...... Boring as bat shit
This is from ARB's latest mag that comes out every few months.

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
Only problem is the airbag when getting a tube bar and all the testing . If not I'd have one also
yeah luckily i dont have that issue lol.................. theres always an XROX for folk with airbagsQuote:

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.Quote:

but but but but..................... ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh nevermind
We could go on like this for days.....
At the end of the day its a bloody ugly car lol
ugly bar for an ugly car lol
we could!!!!! lolQuote:

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.Quote:

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.....
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...Quote:
