That is one damn nice bar, and yes, that would also protect the upper half from roo strike etc.

So what's that style of cheezy going to set me back?

The GQ F.A.T. bar looks shit hot. The early GU bar one is alright but i dont like the way the highmount is mounted downlow and on the angle. I think he fixed that on with that bar in the third and fourth pic where it is up nice and high and moved in.

But it is from a downward angle.... like this

I did have a section cut off from the front to bring it in closer though, and that vehicle looks at least an inch lower

Whats different about the aus bar?? :?
If you know what sandy drives like, you'd know what these bars are capable of being put through..

Relax mate, just saying it looks different from the others around.
Not better, not worse, not weaker or stronger, just that it LOOKS different.

IMO is good to see some one not doing the usual and comming up with their own design.
