    A great bar, well finished, and extremely solid.

    I doubt a D2 bar could be modified, as there is about 200mm difference in the chassis width.

    When I got mine I had the same conundrum. I made up a frame from 25X3 SHS that bolts into the two floor bosses on the drivers side in the boot, braced up to the tire. I'll post a few photos up. It wouldn't hold in a severe accident though.
    Thanks benji for the clue how long ago it was. My friend got one and I know it has been sitting around a while as he could not do the fitting himself (bad back) and was waiting for Peter Davis to fit it for him. Looks great too! He's added an upright for a reversing light and backing camera.

    As mentioned in that post, you end up paying over $3k for a dual wheel carrier equipped rear bar... Could get one made up for half that...

    As I said there was a special offer last year and my friend bought a rear bar / single wheel carrier, fitted with extra stub and clamp on P/S for future use. It cost under $2700 delivered to Sydney.

    Apparently the Kaymar unit is no longer available and Ron got one of these ones also as he was more impressed with its design and quality (having had a Kaymar).

    Looks like the gippslander idea is the go, 3k for a rear bar is a bit rich for me

    I transferred my 4.5yo 4x4 intelligence rear bar from my (now sold) Hard Rangie to my black P38 a couple of weeks ago, and was impressed how well it still looked overall. A couple of minor irritations with the wheel carrier open/close strut mount, but nothing to make me regret paying around $2.3-2.5k for it a few years back.

    Hey Paul,

    I hear you regarding the quality and longevity of this bar, but for me it's just a bit OTT for a wheel carrier!

    I'm in the process of getting a quote for a custom one using "Rigidig" parts from a guy in Taren Point, Sydney. I'll post quote when received.

    I have a swingaway rear wheel carrier on a rear bar but I must admit I like this idea: RPi Engineering - Specialized Rover Engines - faqs
