After last weekend I need one now. Probably stronger than the GUs rear bar.

Ok, let's break down the criteria.. You need a tube bar, It has to be good, and you want one in Melbourne.
Simple FAT.

Be careful of some of the "newer" bars to the market and be mindful of the mounting design.

Looks don't make a bar work any better.

Cheezy, FAT and Ontrack all seem pretty good.

the patroldocta bars use 6 mounting bolts two in the side of the chassis and one strait up through the base, i have been running one on my car for ages now and havent managed to damage it in anyway and i have done plenty of winching with it and no dramas with how its mounted.

Yes, Both.
I know what steel is worth. I know what equipment is worth and i know what time is worth. $850.00 is very cheap if it's all quality.
Also are the powder coated or painted?

Don't get me wrong, i'm not bagging your product, just making sure we're comparing apples with apples.

Lol its not my product, but i back his products because of the price and quality of his stuff i wouldnt bother going looking anywhere else as i know no one else is as no where near as cheap as him, not sure about the grade of steel, i could ask and find out for you but i have not bent it or damaged it at all so i know its not just a shitty weak bar, you can tell in the design that it is designed to be able to take a knock without bending, in my eyes i think paying $1100 for a bar is a rip off, so maybe $850 isnt cheap just a reasonably affordable price, and at the moment im pretty sure he was just painting the bars but could get them powdercoated at extra cost......main tube is 61 od with a 3.2 or 3.4 mm wall and the bash plate is 6 mm, with 3 mm tread plate on the top of the bar...IMO his bars would be just as strong if not stronger then most other bars on the market and for alot less $$$
