Ok its time to redesign my rear bar, mine has served me well, but I am keen to try something a bit different, so after some more ideas. Will definatly recess the tail lights this time, I have smashed way too many of them and possibly looking at a 1/4 panel chop...bit I'll see how I go.
Any new home made rear bars out there that others have made?
Good timing. My new bar went to the powder coaters yesterday.
Should have it back at the end of next week.
Here is a sneak peek:
How heavy is it?
Looks to have a fair bit of weight
Looks very strong probably stronger than the mounts on the chassis?
Should look good powder coated interested in seeing the finished product the profile of the side wings you can see in the photo look vey good.
Cheers

I didn't have a chance to weigh it yet, before it went off, but I would guess between 30 & 40 kg's. There is an additional mount down to the tow bar bracket to assist. I had a look at the Kaymar bars, and adopted a similar design.Quote:

I will take some better pics & upload them when I get it back & have fitted the lights & reversing sensors.
Nice! Can't wait to see the finished product.Quote:

landy spares ex uk bar, purchased via rovacraft syd/mel (cheers andrew).
looks good and no chance this one will break on anything, $650 and uses original light fittings. :cool:
cheers

That bar looks sweet, very similar to the 4x4 intelligence one. Unfortunatly my lower rear quarter panels are badly scratched, so I will either have to cover them and reinforce the bar around them...or bit the bullet and chop them. I'm really not at the stage where I'd like the chop them, so I think I'll make something similar to the rovertym rear bar which covers them.
Or paint the lower quarter panel and get that awesome Landy Spares one :D
Very nice Yorkie.:)Quote:
