D1 rear bars

**Fusion** · 18th May 2008, 03:26 PM

Hi Guys . Have been talking with the old man today and i asked if he and I could build a rear bar to suit my D1. It is going to be very similar to the scorpion racing rear bar . We are also going to make rock sliders and/or tree sliders .

Now the idea we have come up with is if it turns out how we want it to we might build a few others to sell . So this is not an " can i take your order " . It's more of a " would you be interested " thread for now as we are going to get some prices for steel and some other things that we need to do the bar work .

We are still tossing up whether to do winch bars yet . And if we do they will be tubular type winch bars ie: all ranges winch bar .

So lets see how much interest it gets and we will go from there

.

If it looks good and its at a decent price i would be interested in one for sure.Its hard to try and find a decent rear bar anywhere for the Disco.

Hi Wannalandy

As SPROVER says, they look good. If the price was right I, too, might be interested in one

Cheers

would you be making the front and rear bars to suit body lifts as well ???

and maybe even make the rear bars adaptable with wheel and jerry carriers, would widen the market

would be interested

Hi Shorty , I don't think it would be to hard to make the bars to suit body lifts at all .
Still looking into the wheel and jerry carriers

Sounds very promising. Have to see how the pennies are going but if it was adjustable for lifts I'd be very interested.

Put me down on your list as i am also interested in a rear bar as i hate the plastic caps.

i wont burst anyones bubble, but the cost to manufacture and build your own rear Disco bar is not cheap...
i looked at it ages ago and with materials, cutting, welding, painting and labour even for me to do it, it was over $1k

Fronts are not any easier....

love to see the finished product as i know how hard it is to make a good one.

geez, the materials would be the dearest part I would imagine. What hourly rate did you work that out on and how many hours did you calculate to make one?

I reckon making the first one would be labour intensive, but once you got it fine tuned with a jig and cutting/welding multiple pieces at once, the labour price would drop dramatically

it would have to be cheaper than a Kaymar bar, they are for the rich and famous

hes not cheap our clarkie $100 an hour

or at least thats what he charged me......................opps
