    Wings will be substantial. FEA and destruction test first.

    Had a quick look and could integrate factory bar into bar. Get it higher or leave it and bar will JUST sit over with a pound-o-meter adjustment.

    And given I can destroy a factory bar with an upgraded pin with less than the factory rating, whatever I engineer may not go to aust std or whatever but it'll be better after software and prototype destruction tests.

    In fact, what would you think if the wings turned back to the chassis and fixed there and acted as a mudflap mount?

    Anyone making a steel rear bar with Jerry Can (for water) holder (not too keen on MCC)? Ben at APT is designing one with a Jerry holder but don't know how far off that one is.

    Cheers

    If you want to use it seriously off road then it is too much weight, on an already ass-heavy Disco 2...

    Twin wheel rear bar

    I do use it offroad in very challenging terrain. Why too heavy? Good aftermarket HD suspension and strong vehicles. Yes more weight is always a compromise but everything is. Mr LR I take it you have one and have problems with it?

    Anyone seen them? I think it's either MCC, Kaymar (if they still make them...at frightful cost) or custom.

    Cheers

    Because of the overhang and short wheelbase.

    Even without a steel rear bar, just a set of drawers in the back, mine will stand on its back legs on serious climbs...

    But my definition of serious may be different to others...

    I have a lot of weight already...it tours to get to Offroad areas. As I said it's a compromise. I get to failure to proceed points already given steepness of some of the climbs I do. If I want a Tough Trucks vehicle I will cut my d1 down into a ute and add portals. Thanks for your input.
