    Question D2 custom high rear bars with chopped rear guards

    Anyone here done anything like this to improve departure angle and reduce the rear guards?

    Doesn’t improve it as much as you think!
    Still have chassis rails and outriggers to consider...

    There are a few who did a trim up but going straight doesn’t gain anything.

    I agree.
    Maybe some "Poser" value but very little practical value in this mod and yes it does look like crap as well.

    I have noticed disco and other makes with damage in the area.....

    Bar work protecting the existing panels or making adjustment to the panel l isn’t sick a bad idea if you’re doing more extreme tracks

    I’m going to do mine and make a rear bar to suit as I can’t find one off the shelf obviously. I have damaged both rear quarters below the last fold in the body so it looks a bit rough as it is.

    So had my D1 when it happened but I sorted that and kept the line which looks and flows nicer... (and works for dragging off items also)

    That’s the style I’m aiming for Tombie.
