here are some dodgy paint examples of bar work i would like for my rig. let me know what you think. also whats the go with the legal side of these can you just make your own and stick it on?

[hooki]

the one in the midle looks good.

[acc1]

Indeed the middle one.. I like the bar to go a little each way, up n down.

[lump_a_charcoal]

Howabout this one? pretty simple but looks good I reckon...

[bigrig91]

yeh definately middle. and out of tube instead of square steel i think. yeh looks tough.

[Trojan]

None, go with a full bumper style.

[want33s]

9500lb winch bar.


Same bar with bumper refiited over the top.

[bigrig91]

that looks good. how does your steering dampner work? worth the money you rekon?

coilies are completely, different, i have one on mine i ditched the spring though seems to be alright but not worth the money you have to pay for the kit

That's how the one on mine has been mounted, as apposed to how yours has been mounted.

It was fitted to the car when I bought it so I can't really say if it helps or not.
Ask Zookernator(Liam), he bought it off me and fitted it to his car in Tassie.

I fitted powersteering and don't run a damper at all.... Much better.

thats confusing becasue coilies don't have the mount on the chassis that the older ones do, did you make a bracket that goes there, i don't like where mine is seems restrictive

[Saam]

anyways here is my barwork


and as far as legality, there is lots of rules in regards to padestrians and stuff, just don't make it sticky outy or sharp or pointy and see how you go , lol

It was there when i got it, but it is just set up like a leafy. Has a bracket welded off the back of the front crossmember and a bracket on the pitman arm.

[Trojan]

As for barwork, i know mine doesn't have a coily body on it, but i still think for neatness wise, the full bar type just looks better if you can make one.




If you can't I think either the first or second design on the front. Then use some flat metal a few mm thick to fill in the gaps and smoothed out and the corner sections angled back slightly

[steve]

i better post mine up too

[mrw82]

hey steve you want to make me one the same?

Been looking for a good design for a while for mine, something like yours would be great.

[Westie]

well this is the one I made for StretcH seem to work well

[acc1]

Made me wanna start playing :p

I started playing around and getting the feel for what I like, Turns out to be the last one I did when I had a go at doing at the full size type one. Sorta looks abit like stevesss :p

They are just proto types I guess you could say.. All of them drawn up/ design on the go with no prior thought.

Not at all serious designs by any means.. Just like to play in cad now and then But I wouldn't mind something like the last one


Here's a few screens of what I was playing with, there were many different changes, combination's and stuff I was playing with.

[want33s]

Hey Acc1,
2nd from left looks OK but top bar looks weird. Lower it a bit so you can see the bonnet gap and that'd be sweet.

[acc1]

Yeah, Alot of personal preference with stuff like this which is why I just posted them all, Never know if it gives anyone any ideas.. Or not.. Either way its ok i was just playing in spare time :p

[Westie]

Get rid of the COW catcher on the bottom OK for HWY not Bush that is just gunna hinder your aproach. Have it so that if you hit a a mound or anything you are climbing it helps you slide up and over it.

Mine is setup so I can nudge up to a object and it will lift the front and then then rest is up to the driver wether it goes under the centre of the car ( I have Bash plates through the centre) or let the sliders take the weight.

Also make sure you strengthen the sides as quite oftern you will clip these edges on aproach. JMO

Tube bars are relatively cheap and easy to make.
