It depends on where you live. Australia or Africa then whichever you prefer. UK and Europe then there's legal and moral implications for fitting a full bull bar as opposed to a winch bumper.

Hi,
Bull bars don't get fitted that often in the UK, so you may need to wait a bit for those that have them fitted to reply. Weight is one of the big issues I can see, so if I had a need for one I would be looking at the scales to see which is the lighter offering.
On a purely personal note, my favourite looking one of the two is the ARB, but that's just my opinion, they are very similar looking in the pictures I have seen.

Yokohama Geolanders, Sony head unit, NAUTILUS Air Horn, DRL conversion, Rear cargo space, Elvis Bobblehead, transfer Guard, Indian hanging Elephant, Koni Heavy track dampers, Custom SS exhaust, Voodoo Doll, Adventure Rack with LED ight bar, vintage ERIBA caravan usually attached (yes it's slow)

I’m from Denmark and I actually don’t know what the rules are here.. I know you can buy both here in Denmark so I suppose both are legal.. I’m leaning towards the Ironman both for the look and it is 600£ cheaper - for that money I’ll can buy a good winch..

I have the Ironman one, they offer two styles. Both are the same, just the 'bar' part is different. I like the ARB one too. I doubt there is a lot of difference between them in reality. I haven't seen any published weights either. When first having it fitted I could notice it as soon as I drove it, but you get used to it and it is now normal. I don't have a winch yet, so that would add more weight.

What defense did you notice on the weight?
