I have been looking for images to compare the differences but can't seem to find any images of the older version Sahara. With the price difference so great, I thought I should evaluate the old version to see if I like it.

Any help is greatly appreciated.

This forum reminds me of calling into the Jim Rome show... careful with your take and don't flame out..... :-)
 
I went through the same thing and thought the difference was in the turn signal indicators, the 03 plus has em and the prior years don't. You may want to give ARB a call and see if they have a pic for you. They told me there was a difference in the way it mounted, I ordered the 03+ and it went on just fine.
 
All the pictures I looked at for both versions look identical. I was thinking the mounting possibly changed as it did for the ARB combination bar for those respective years. I do know some people with the older ARB combination bar prefer the older winch mounting over the newer design. I wonder if ARB changed the mounting of both bumpers at the same time. Just a guess... Even the older ARB Sahara pictures I found have the signal lights included...
 
When I called ARB in Australia I askedthem the same question.
They told that the look exactly the same, only the mounting is different.
Mine has been ordered.
 
I have a later version sahara bar bumper. I have a separate winch mount which the bumper attaches to. I'll try to take pics tonight yes? would that help? Though it's dark... perhaps tomorrow then.
 
Mine (03+ on a 00)is the same way, mount the brackets and winch plate which sits between the frame rails then the bumper to the brackets.
