    DISCOVERY 2 STEEL REAR BARS!!

    Hi All

    Most D2 owners know how fragile the standard plastic rear bar is, so finally a tough, affordable steel replacement that doesn't outweigh the car.

    I've spent a lot of time developing my new steel rear bar, which is now ready.

    About this bar:

    IMPROVED DEPARTURE ANGLE:
    An increase in departure angle from 21 degrees to 26 degrees, on a standard vehicle with standard suspension and tyres.

    LIGHTWEIGHT BUT TOUGH:
    Weighs approximately 16kg, which is only 4kg heavier than the original plastic bar.

    STRONG MOUNTING:
    Mounts to the chassis with 6 bolts at 3 points

    OPTIONS INCLUDE:
    Lights: LED or stock lights can be retained
    Two rear recovery points
    Wheel carrier: still in development, but should be available soon (will add pics)








    PRICE:
    Standard Bar (as seen in pics) $550

    Will update this thread soon with some better photos and prices for the options.

    Yep sure does.

    Await the wheel carrier version with baited breath. Will it be a single or dual carrier?

    Thanks.

    It will just a single wheel carrier for now, can develop a dual wheel carrier as well, but it depends on how much interest I get.

    At the moment I am painting the bars with two pack, but I can get them powder coated as well.

    I'd be keen on a dual mount.

    Two tyres or tyre and jerry or 2 tyres & 2 jerrys or ...

    Possibly make compatible with off the shelf available mounts. Would need someone to offer up samples though.
