ARB...I wanted fog lights in the bar similiar to the stock bumper, so I went with the ARB Sahara Bar. The Sahara is made for the Prado and is a little too wide for the truck, so you need to have the wide flares. If you don' t have the wide flares, it wouldn't look right.

The ARB bull bar or Sahara? two different bars. I just put a TJM on my wife's SR5 and love it. Her truck won't be used as hard, but the TJM is nice. Well constructed and the three piece design could be useful if you ever had any damage. I have pics of both the Sahara and TJM side by side if you'd like

I'll get some of the ARB vs the TJM later if I can... Haven't seen brady in a while anyway...
AH Ha!
T15, T17 and ARB...
As for testimony... I think THIS TREE speaks for itself... hit it right with the weakest part of the TJM (the blinker) and there is an EVER so slight bend when you look at it from the top, but harly noticeable. I actually forgot about it til now... then, even when it was at its highest setting, a dumbass in a eclipse decided to stop in the middle of the road and back into me at 10mph and then take off, and you guessed it! Not a scratch. You really should have seen the eclipse!
You see my take on the discussion... 
You will be happy with either but one thing to consider though is the TJM is lighter. It starts to really add up when you get a winch and lights on it... then rock lights, and an antenna... you get the idea... I'm with you though about the sahara bar though, its too nice. I want something I can beat up and not completely care about, because it will happen (web wheeler or not )Other good bumper pics:

Like Austin, I hit a tree with my P/s blinker area (right below the signal light) on my t-15....some pounding and some rattle cans and you can barely see it.
That and you can install and remove the t-15 solo. Dunno 'bout the ARB.
my $.02 - i'm sure the ARB is just as good.
