Sahara bar

Does anyone know the weight of a Sahara bar or equivalent compared to a traditional steel winch/Bullbar?

I really like the look of the Sahara bar but I don't know if the lack of protection compared to the traditional Bullbar is worth the weight reduction.

Not a lot of weight reduction I have the Sahara bar on mine, but the Prado i had before was the normal ARB bar. Wouldn't do it again. The alloy center piece reflected the sun in my eyes (120 series) which is why i changed. The headlight reflected on the normal bar.
I know the 150 is taller in the front but would be very similar.

Just my 2 cents.

The TJM T3 bar is only just visible to me at 1.82m, wife who is about 1m shorter cannot see it. I don't know about the Sahara but I would guess it is similar. Weight difference between that and a full bar is only about 10kg.

No reflection issues but if there was I would just put Matt vinyl on the back the same as I did for the Ironman loop bar on the 120. Very easy to do.
