Thread: Tube winch bar advise.

I'm in the process of making a tube style winch bar for my D1. Winch cradle/chassis mount is basically made (6mm plate) bar a few gussets, just need to sort some material for the tube part.


Was thinking 65nb light pipe (3.2mm wall) and 40 or 50nb light (2.9mm wall) for the hoop. Tho I do have some 3" exhaust tube, would this be too light? I don't really want to make it any heavier than it needs to be.


I was also thinking about running some bars back from the inner chassis mount plates to pick up the mounts further back that the std steering arm guard/panhard mount bolts to, as well as 3 x 1/2" bolts on the front end. Would this be a good idea?


Cheers

IMO exhaust is too light. It will dent very easily and most likely cause more damage than it stops if you hit anything. 2.9 will be fine.
