Defender tube bar design....opinions

Thanks heaps for everyone's input and votes so far. It's really hard to design something that will please everyone's taste.

I greatly value feedback from the forum, good or bad, as it all goes towards making a better product.

Cheers, Murray

I am sorry to say,but those lights in the gussets look like they should be on the front of a falcon ute,that is going to a B&S and doing circle work:censored:

I like the straight DRL idea.

Also could you move the winch mount down & further back thus allowing the horizontal tube to run right thru?

That way the winch should be in between the chassis rails.

Keep the stainless RoR but mount plasma fairlead in there some where.

I would like the look of the laser cut brace better if it only had 2 or 3 holes.

Can electric winches be mounted upside down?

I prefer the full bars so I can attach side bars.

Straight off I prefer a full bar but appreciate the fact people want these 'pipe' bars.

I would think if the top bar bent and continued as a one piece and then was parralelled by another bar for the 'outriggers' it would look good.

The multiple holes look like a kids shape toy on the bracing... try something else (iconic?) on them in a laser cut...

maybe something like the landy oval and slash but with ror on it somehow?
just a thought.. and if strip lights wanted maybe inbetween the two 'pipes"?

Yep it is really bad but was just a thought and my way of trying to explain it.

cheers

Excuse my ignorance but where would the number plate go?

Ha ha, yeah as soon as it gets here I'll come and pay you a visit!
Be good to see the bars in person.

I also like the suggestion of bringing the main bars to meet in the middle if possible. I'll be getting the bar way before I get the winch and it'll looked weird with a big unfilled gap in the middle!!!:rolleyes:

Don't work too far away from you so will give you a bell to organise a visit.

The bar will come with a bracket which bolts on the back of the fairlead/hawse plate, so the number plate will be positioned on top of the plate in front of the winch. I'll take a pic when I get the chance.
I hate the requirement to fit a front number plate, and there's really no other option but this position.

Cheers, Murray

unless you fit a flip up plate over your fairlead
