No work on rain days so I spend my time staring at the Landy dreaming, the grinder came out this time. Stage one of the rear bar, more to add, when finished you should be able to hi-lift jack of it. Will post finished product next week if all goes well. Guards cop it next :p

yes tell us more :)

Just started to think about this myself. Are you mounting to the original bumper mounts or to the chassis (or both)?

Looking good

Ok finished,apart from final clean up (grinder) and paint job, bit rushed as was going out the next day.
Did not attach to body work in the end but crammed conveyor belt rubber between body support where body mount is (tight) sicca flexed so rubber wont work its way out.the bar is extremely solid.
I'll get some trim on the week end to finish the bodywork off and raise the mud flaps.
Please, positive and negative points welcome as I am after better ideas for improvement. My brother in law made a good point, don't build a bar heaps stronger than the chassis, let the bar bend :angel:

I'm not sure but there may be regulations on the positioning (spacing) of the indicators on the rear......
