So i decided i dident like my plastic bumper so i made this


Made a custom towbar


and mounted the rear bar off that, this is some progress pics




Welded the whole thing with a 35 year old ark welder!





and the finished product just needs to be powder coated!



Next is a Exo Cage, roof rack, slider and brushbars!

Not bad at all

Looks great for a learners car! Haha.

Although I do prefer the smaller tube bars.

Does it add a whole lot of weight to the back of the car? Kinda hard to tell what plate you made it out of (looks to be about 3mm?)

looks good. you may want to add some provision for mud flaps so you can put them on before you go over the pits or up the highway then take em off before wheeling

tube bars can be surprisingly heavy, a 40mm tube still has a circumference of 125mm. two tubes parallel to make a bar would be the equivilent of a 250mm of plate. then you have to put something between the tubes to fill in the gaps (usually plate anyway). so they can be on par depending on the thickness of the materials used.

Yeap made of 3mm sheet and actually weights the car down and helps a lot with the ride! planning on doing the mud flaps soon once i finish my roof console

Completely agree,
Tube bars can be very heavy too but they don't look quite as bulky so it gives it a certain look. (At least in my head it does haha)

It looks great though, some quick release mudflap brackets would be a nice touch to it.

Bar powdercoated and Made some mudflaps up!

Where does the spare wheel now live?

Cut the Bracket in half and raised it by about 3-4"
