Thread: P38 and disco 2 rear bar

I've been trying to get a rear bar with wheel carrier fabricated by Ben from APT since June last year but he's always too busy with other work, I'm at the stage now where I just don't think it's going to happen so I need to find another option.

Moving to 265/75R16 BFG KM2's has been great for off road driving but there's no way the spare will fit in the the space from the original so we have to carry it in the back and it's even too big to go at one side as it stops the upper tailgate from shutting.

Anyway, I'd also be interested to know what options are available for fitting parts that are made for other vehicles.

Outback Accessories in WA (company who make the Xrox front bar on my p38) plan to make a rear bar.... Eventually. Intheozone was meant to go see them to be the prototype but he hasn't reported back. Thinking that's a long waiting game there as well.

My rear bar at the moment is just the metal skeleton with the plastic and side wings removed. Modified it a little on some rock steps and then caught it on a tree. So the plastic bits and side wings never went back on when I put the tow bar on a week or so ago.

I'm pretty sure the d2 chassis is narrower at the rear. It would be great if they could be made to fit though.

Guess you each saw this post from last year?

The P38 Rear Bar Tyre Carrier SNAFU


I was wondering if the MCC rear bar for the D2 with twin pivot arms, could be made to fit. Its a nice looking bar.

I wonder if sean's arm could be twisted a little?

He come to the party on the front bar.

In what way? Happy to help in any way I can.

Hi

I saw a P38 with a D2 rear bar and carrier, when I asked the guy he said someone in VIC put it on, buy he couldn't remember who

He said all they had to modify were the side pieces.

I emailed those guys near Bendigo, but they knew nothing about it.

I will definitely be getting one fabricated in Feb!

No I didn't see that one. Not sure how I missed it as it's quite long.

I know there was also another thread that had talk about a rear bar as well but couldn't easily find it... I used the search tool in this forum before posting... honestly
