Looks like stock bar fibreglass/bogged smoother to me too.
Maybe a little lower.
Also, if you want an anal dash, use the RA60/RA65 one, and get the tacho recalibrated to 6cyl.
ps - digi rox your sox

digital dash = teh win! (im goin to miss mine with the transition to the MA70.. *sigh*)
the front bar is a part of the Erebuni kits for the ma61. They have two under their ground effects section, both share this same front bumper but have different sides, rear skirts, and you can also get the optional flares for all you RA6X people to look like you have a MA6X. Oh and they have the 1985+ Rear hatch spoilers too. Yum. Not to mention the prices listed there are subject to 20% off due to the fact that theres no US Sales Tax applicable on it as its coming to Aust!

after alternating between the analogue hilux dash and the digi ma61 for some time now i prefer the digital version.
in one glance i can see speed and i can guage where the engine is rev wise from the shape of the curve. pay a bit more attention and in the same view i can read the rpm. More detailed colour coding of the bar (like in the MZ10?) would improve 'reading times' even further.
but with a split tacho and speedo it requires you to shift focus slightly from left to right and back - is slightly more involved if you're in fast traffic and are constantly checking windscreen and mirror views.

I love the digi dash. Makes it look retro.
Chicks seem to dig it too for some reason. Go figure.

A good driver doesn't need a tacho to know when to shift.
Digi dash sucks wif massive aids. When I get more time, the analogue cluster is going in.

I hate my digi dash too. I was cursing it just yesterday when the sun was at just the right angle to make the whole dash totally unreadable. 
The only reason I haven't done a conversion is because I'm too lazy, and the stock analog dash looks pretty crappy anyway. My plans for the long-term are to butcher an RA60 dash and put some aftermarket instruments in it.

Hmmm, it doesn't look super, but better than the digi version.
Could have a good idea there, but it would be bloody expensive.

i love the digital dash aswell.. if u want analog, just buy some after market analogue gauges. How could u not like a digital speedo it tells u exactly how fast u r going.. I would perfer an analogue tacho. but that can be easily fixed for $200.. its very unique and its alot easy to read quickly when u r driving... a good driver shouldn't need to use a tacho to change gear, it should be off hte sound of hte negine.... unless u drive an Auto or a Prius!!

digidash=frustrating
with polarised sunnies you cant read it , in sun - you cant read it ( glare ) if you loose the lcd for the numbers - you cant read it
i listen to the sound of the motor now to guestmate speed most of the time - with dads drono-tron cannon he put on it - the louder the resonance - the closer to 60km i am
