Gday all,
Were in he throws of deciding if it's worth getting a bar fitted to the new car before a big trip we've got coming up. So far the only choices are :
Toyota genuine alloy bar $2900 installed
TJM Steel bar $2800 colour coded, installed
Toyota reckon the alloy bar weighs 75kg, the TJM bar is 90kg and has rated recovery points. I was pretty set on the Toyota bar to keep it genuine and covered etc. but shocked at the weight of the alloy bar. With the family in the car, 2 Jerry's on the platform and a spare, an engel in the back and 250kg swinging off the tow all were already on the GVM limit. Anyone else concerned? Any opinions on the two bars?
Cheers,
Ryan
