G'day All,
I would be grateful for your opinions about Genuine Toyota steel winch bar for 100 series Cruiser compared with ARB, TJM etc. Is there much to choose between them? Considering purchase of 100 series TD cruiser and want to make winch bull bar part of the deal. Thanks in advance.
Season's greetings to all
Mark

I am pretty sure that the Genuine bar is similar to the Sahara bar that ARB sell , Nice looking , but you cannot fit scrub bars later on , the standard winch bar from arb, you can fit anything you like , click on the link to take a look

Mark,
You can make any bar you wish to have part of the deal.
Most dealerships will be able to arrange for an ARB or TJM bar if you don't want to have the Toyo bar. All you need do is specify which specific bar you want and get a price from them for it.
It will be cheaper if you got it yourself directly from an ARB or TJM outlet, though.
Merry Xmas,
Savvas

Hi U will probably find the Toyota bar to be made by ARB. The 80 series ones were.

ARB bar is the way to go.
It is a lot nicer to look at and is stronger then the others in my opinion.
The toyota bar looks very plain and ugly.

ARB are good (i have one) but in my opinion there are just as good ones out there for less $$. If you live in WA I can recommend a company for you.

Thanks for the offer Will. Live in TAS so I won't be able to use your suggestion. Thanks also to others for their thoughts.
