My front bumber is knackered, although not my first priority i'll look to replace it once i'm earning a coin in Perth. Looking for a simple but sturdy front bar to replace the original flimsy bumper, the only luxury i'm looking for is a UHF antenna mounting point and maybe a room for spotties if I ever decide for some.
What are the Australian supplier options for front bars? ARB has one option, and it's not what i'm after. But i've been checking out ZOR and a couple of other US based zook mod companies who have some perfect solutions, but it's no good looking at gear from over there if I can't get it here.
I can't fab anything like this up myself, so it's gotta be off the shelf. Who sells front bars in Aus?
Also - I seen a few rigs in the pages not running a front bar at all. Is this Legal?

Post some pics of the bars you like from O/S. It will give us all an idea of "what you like" so we can have a crack at finding a local manufacturer for you.

Here's one from ZOR that I like. Like a stock bumper, but way more robust. I'd prefer stock indicators than LED swaps, but that's only if I have the option to be fussy:
- image fixed.

I got qouted up to get a bar made, similer to what you posted(first pic). That was $800ish.. then you would need paint + HT bolts aswell. TSOR one is sexy as tho for the price.
