whats left to do?

draw and a cargo barrier is the main thing........just trying to find out about these now


and just need to make a mount for the thoughbook to fit in to run the gps software

then the only other thing i would really like to fit is a tyre pressure monitor

and the rest is just protection stuff such as rock sliders steering guards etc:).....

Very nice! That design is about 95% towards what I want - which I am increasingly thinking does not exist so it may be time to dust off the pipe bender.

Interesting that the main A-bar is bolted on but Phil decided to weld the side struts. I wonder how a modified design would go with all bolted connections. I like the way that your design allows you to keep the original bumper. I would also drop the A-bar diameter a tad and make it just that bit higher and stick out a bit less. You have got me motivated to do something in this regard - thanks.

the side struts are not welded.....
he made it a tad lower so you can see the defender sticker. ones the new ones how ever dont have the defender sticker like the TD5.....

if the A bar was any closer the lights would not fit in........

Interesting - so they are just sitting there? Do they rub on the bumper?

Nice thinking - maybe you should get a Defender badge since the space is still there and they seem to crop up on Fleabay periodically.

if the A bar was any closer the lights would not fit in........

Makes sense too.

[dullbird]

so they are just sitting there!


nope they are bolted

[solmanic]

nope they are bolted

Aaaaahhhh - from inside the bumper channel? - very neat.

well if your driving around Mt gravatt and see a tool driving an EL fairlane with 83VIP plates, stop him and ask how he got the two 3'' 'A' bar dints out of his boot. See if i build something its built for a purpose, is practicle and tuff.
so when the said tool cut me off and left me no where to stop he ended up with $1800 at the pannel shop and had to pay his excess. I was not at fault. all i had to do was realign my spots back straight, stop the missus flattening him (we were up for our wedding) and get his details.

cheers phil
