Looking for a front bar for a Sierra in SW WA, Perth preferably. ARB, Calmini C3, or something of similar design - roo proof  Must be steel with radiator bar, recovery points and a winch option would be nice too.
I'm prepared to pay freight from the east, but don't want to spend much more than $700-ish, otherwise i'll just wait and get one made in a month or two.

for $700 you could probably have someone custom make you one mate.
suzistore made mine, not sure how much they'd charge to replicate it? probably more than $700, but these pics could give you something to get it quoted:

I reckon this is the best looking front bar for a zook i've seen so far and a it's DIY effort, what do you reckon it'd cost to get it replicated?

^^ that is pretty good... the top bar would need to be lowered slightly to be legal (its not allowed to go higher than the front of the bonnet).
The other thing to consider is the uprights need to be spaced back from the grille a bit in case you do hit something and it pushes the bar into the radiator.
but, looking at it, its prolly 3x the work to make that than a tube bar... i reckon it'd cost a fortune to have someone else make it. It'd need a lot of bracing behind the bumper etc to be strong.
