Are deluxe bars back or did they never leave…

With the constant hunt for original 60 bars and the supply dwindling, I’m heading back to the ARB “Dakar” style bar.
Got my hands a vintage ARB deluxe “Dakar” style bar. Reasonably priced but everything is getting dearer. Spent a bit of time on the restoration and have also managed to reuse my WARN XD9000 winch I’ve had since my 20s (it’s a 94 model) that needed a thorough pull apart and regrease as well. My original bar will be hung on the wall until I find that fashionable again

What a beauty. I love those decals with that paint colour.

What visor do you have on there?

Tan 60 looks very familiar

Didn’t know that’s what that bar was called. Looks like I have one, too.

They are called a “deluxe” bar up to when ARB made the a Single loop and they rebranded the Deluxe “Dakar” bar probably late 90’s. The bar you have there like mine and is often falled the Dakar style bar but really its Deluxe.
