I'm trying to get a better look at the Calmini bars available for Sierras. There's one or two pics that pop up in a google search, but they're small and grainy, and hard to see what they really look like.
Specifically i'm looking for pics of a Calmini C3 or C5 bar from a few different angles - does anyone have any at hand?

Cheers guys - seen both these pics, but they seem to run out from there. No Auszookers running them that we know of?

i've not seen anyone running one in australia - probably because of the shipping costs.

They look  Just got word postage for the C5 is $450 (LROR quote), so add $550 it's a $1K bar that still needs parker lights to be legal. Maybe cheaper for the C3.
Has Fatzook got his winch bar ready yet? I love his other bar, but a winch option and some sort of radiator bar I think i'll have exactly what I want.

Nice one Skyman - I just found that tiger gold one after a bit of 'keywording', what an awesome zook.
At this stage i'm checking out my options, but the Calmini C3 and C5 bars sure are solid pieces of work and tick all the boxes of what i'm chasing.
Unless I can find one 2nd hand ARB can stick it as locally made gear being half price on the far side of the globe is just shit. Fatzook make's an awesome bar, but I want more radiator protection incase I hit an animal in the middle of nowhere. ZOR make some nice bars, but they look like a little lightweight.
It all comes down to $$$. My xmas present to myself is gonna be a front bar and lights, and i've set myself a budget of $1000 to see what I can come up with. But postage is gonna be the killer

Also note the uprights and pointy recovery points with a sharp edge are illegal. They need a 20mm? strap welded over them to comply with pedestrian safety requirements. Look at an ARB bar and you'll see what I'm talking about...
