The left one was a log that had been cut with barely enough room to get through i just slipped a little and that was the result.The right hand side was 2 different incidents the first was going through a deep mud hole the front came up out before the back dropped in and the back slipped 2 the right and the bank nailed the corner where the corner cone is and pushed the body in a bit.The second we found a german guy stuck in a mud hole nose first towards us(no recovery equipment road tyres ect)so we thought pulling him out backwards would be best as the track got a lot worse were we had come from.So my mates were guiding me past his toyota and we slipped into him his door caved in mine is a couple of ripples and scratches.He had sent his missus to look for help in the rain miles from any where i think he got chewed something chronic.They were just glad to get out so no cost to me thank christ.
Cheers Brett

P.s when i get some photos of the day i will post them in another thread

Your a rough bugger mate . I'd cry if i done that to my disco .... but i did only just get it . Know of any tracks where we could go with only A/T's . Did go for a quick squirt out jancourt forest and found a couple of tame tracks but had fun .

battle scars!!!!

not exactly what your looking for brett, i.e homemade, but this is a scorpion racing one, (i think) with hi-lift jacking points




i fitted it last week to what is now my missus' car and am really pleased with it.
took it out for a drive on saturday and didn't do any damage - done plenty before it was fitted note the crease in the panel above the trim.

Thanks don't think my skills are that good so want to try something a bit simpler.But thats a nice looking bar(i can't afford to buy one at the moment).I have a couple of ideas so if nothing else pops up i will have to wing it.Thanks for the photo cheers Brett

I'ld go with 5mm PFC Say 120 x75 (lump of C Channel)
You can shape it easy on the ends to fit the car

Looks like you need the bumper to take the bash & not colapse / also good for backing over trees (It can get tight)

Wouldn't use tube steel, too flimsy in a "crunch"

Nice - it just now gives you an excuse to make somthing better.

Think of it as a good thing.
