good luck, I will watch to see what you build

Thanks shorty some nice looking bars there.My skill level is also low(I have never welded before)If my attempt does'nt look right i have a few mates that will probably help.Cheers Brett

This was the result of a 3 foot rock getting dragged up into the guard during the photoshoot for 4WD Monthly a few years ago...

Result... Quoted to replace entire panel (cost $3500.00)




Drove back to Adelaide and started thinking

Using 100mm Sq as the basis built this bar to replace the rear bumper (lost ends at least 4 times so was sick of that!) and needed to make it look better with the 35 on the rear...

Heres what I made...








As you can see, solid bumperettes, and guards cut to suit...

Sides of bar are webbed behind for strength... and triangulated.

Hi Lift points on rear and integrated tow bar.

The skid plate meets level with the long range tank...
