D2 rear bar

[disco_thrasher]

Well after much searching around the after market suppliers of rear bars ,and not much luck on what i wanted ,i spoke to Greg from Outcast offroad (grover69)and he had the solutions to my hang up problems and custom so whatever i wanted so this weekend it went into there workshop , once again it comes out a far better Disco and as lots of you say Disco's need as much mods as they can get;)
so here are so pics of the Outcast offroad enhanced D2 rear bar

the end result was awesome
as you can see the indicators are LED lights and add bling to my D2 i wanted them off the bar as i was tired of breaking lights and without them there would add extra strength ,that what the bonus of getting a rear bar custom made

Great bar mate, it makes such a difference.That nice high cut is the only way to go.

[disco_thrasher]

Hey mate...looks good.....you...or Greg could probably answer these Q's..



Rough Cost?
Can/ does the bar incorporate OEM towbar etc..bit hard to see in pics.
Can you still keep the step in conjunction with the bar. I like my step...especially for us fatties....helps to get to the roof rack :D

My rear bar is getting hammered and needs to go........but I still want something that goes with the car,

as they are custom i had a few things added and used 6mm steel that will have to be answered by Greg
OEM towbar definately still there as my camper needs a buddy
with the skills that Greg has am certain the step can be added in

you dont need to go the way i went with the 1/4 cut ect am sure he can do what ever you want give him a call 0424705300

Are you going to take off your spare wheel carrier now kelvin or modify it to fit the 35? or possibly a swinger off the bar??

i am with Stevo on that call a swinger:p
no plans yet for normal one day trips it goes in the back ,when i am off for a weekend camping it can get let down and on the tyre carrier until we get to the destination set up camp pump up tyre and in the back it goes

We can always propose the idea of swingers at the next meeting...a few people might second it...hey Stevo :p

Anyway....me and Shamo are drawing up plans to make heaps sic new rear bars for our d2's, building them at the same time. Given the idea of a wheel carrier some thought, as it would be nice to get it off the door helps so it doesnt fall off :D
Planning to make it so it opens with the door, sort of like a defender wheel carrier. That will be a challenge in itself, but looking forward to it.
Stevo you looking at cutting the 1/4 panels, because we will only cut the bottom off not the whole thing, but covering it instead. They are very vulnerable due to the d2's "dam duck-like" rear end, so worth protecting.

angle of the door they way it opens prevents this from working properly it can work if you hack your door up but will be intresting to see if you can pull it off keep me informed

Great bar - D2 is now a real weapon off road.

[Shamo]

Mmmm swingers..

Can I just ask what you have done with your exhaust outlet. I smashed mine up today and am wondering what to do that wont be damaged every time I go out.

Did you stop it sooner or raise it up?

[disco_thrasher]

i damaged mine to so i cut it of before the rear resonator so as it gets to the rear diff it goes up and over on the the downward section cut it off there so fumes get pushed into the road
next mod is a whole new exhaust system
