I reckon you would get more air flow to the radiator with these.
It seams that you have some different winch cradles between these models

Pricing, what a nightmare!!! our laser cutting price has more than doubled in the last 5 years, its insane. but it's not the only thing, when we first started making these we were paying $66inc for sand blasting and powder coating, now that number is up to the $200 mark, just crazy.

just don't get me started on tube prices!!!!!! cussing

So
our standard GQ bar (the blue silver shorty)
high tensile steel cradle,
500MPa CDS (mild steel is 250MPa)
satin black powdercoat
is $1350
(i have only just put this price up, i had been holding it at $1250 for the last 4 years but i just can keep absorbing the costs)

Bogged you can't compare the pricing of an ARB or TJM bar to a tube bar, you are looking at thousands of units per year V's hundreds.

their manufacturing costs (per unit) would a tenth of ours. and someone has to pay that difference.

a question.
is a pressed metal bar a better, stronger, safer frontal protection devise? or, is it the millions of dollars the above brands have spent on advertising that has you thinking they are a superior product?

and while we are on the deep and meaning full
