Stu,
I'm interested as I now think I can't avoid it. The only thing that concerned me was it fitting the Chreokee's that are imported to Aust. Don't quote me on this but I thought many models not just Jeeps are made a little different to what's sent over to us. So, I was thinking that having imported a front bar that didn't quite line up would kind of give me the crap's.
SO what's the weight difference between all 3 bar's on the market. ARB, TJM & this prospective import Lizard. Also which offers the most ground clearence up front & the most inner wheel arch clearence. If you know this stuff Stu that would help, once I know priceing I can give it more serious thought.

Hi Chris,
I cant comment on the weight of the RL bars but i'm sure Marty will send me the info on exact weights in due course.
Our KJ's wouldnt and shouldnt be any different to the US models in terms of body and construction, just smaller things like interior spec, licence plate mounting (incl lights) and indicators ect. If I put a RL rear bar on my KJ (higly likely) then i'll be putting some LED stop & indicators combo lights in it.
I'm also surious as to the rear reciever hitch. If it comes built in (which it looks as if it does) then there wont be a need for a $400+ genuine towbar package. I'm yet to see the exact mounting points of the RL rear bar but it look pretty solid to me.
ARB front bar is the heaviest by far. Something tells me the RL & TJM ones would be similar, but once again, needs to be confirmed.
