Yeah i dont break for long i want to get stuck into creating something that looks suitable with the rest of my car that can be made from pipe. Hopefully be easy enough to be able to make it myself with a little help from my dad if need be. So what is out there? Not really looking to get a winch just yet so that isnt needed.

[BlueSuzy]

just for bragging rights
Have a looky at mine up top, you have a bender so all should be sweet, Maybe a twin main bar instead of 1?

This is my 1st attempt of a bar, i wanted it totally different but i was just building as i go! tack this tack that, 10 mates with their own opinions and wella! Looks fine for me!

Also the centre bar behind the num plate there is a bar that is tacked in only. So if i want to remove it, i can for a winch. I left enough room for one, I measured a mates winch

[Mike]

does it all have to be made of pipe?

[Zook_Fan]

nah not really can encorperate some flat and stuff

[BlueSuzy]

just watch on some certain stuff, like protrusions etc, the cops wont like it.

You should be ok, you made the rear look sweet.

There is alot of links on outers, if u havent searched already

[Mike]

auszookers is better because everyone does the searching for you

[Mike]

what about making something like these two

[BlueSuzy]

yeah, in the 50 od pipe it should be ok, Zook_fan already has the twin rear bar, you may as well make a frontwithout the winch space, but that hoop looks alittle too big

[Mike]

here is the first one without the space for a winch

[BlueSuzy]

looks good, but its not up to us

[BlueSuzy]

oh, and have you got BL zookkid? I would make the front bar sortof compatible for a 2" bl. I did my 2" BL b4 i started my bars.

Just thinking of your future, when the bugs bite harder

[Mike]

or you could just have your headlights reflect off the top bar like mine

[Zook_Fan]

havent got a body lift yet no but seriously thinking about it. That bar looks awesome and i could make it but i would have the two bars touching. The problem will all be in the mounting to the car and the indicators

[Mike]

here is another one



same bar with a stinger

[Zook_Fan]

do they legaly have to curl around the sides?

[BlueSuzy]

Im not sure, i made mine like that so if i touch rocks it wont touch the body

[Mike]

the legality for those sort of things change from state to state
i have a factory bar without the bumper part and a police officer told me it was legal because my number plate and indicators were in the right place

[Zook_Fan]

fair enough makes sense ill check it up with queensland laws

[sp1086]

Mine..

[Zook_Fan]

that looks really sweet sp1086 i am thinking of doing one similar to the yellow one without a stinger and winch just 1 straight bar capped ends, another bar underneath with enough room to fit the lights only, and a hoop over the top to stick some spotties in

[Mike]

here is one similar to the yellow one

[Zook_Fan]

that looks good that way i will only need 2 bends

[terry]

oh that stinger bar.... thats pretty good.
I like those bars from the states they look better than the boring ARB bars.
Come to think of it, ARB bars are like bums. Everyones got one. Be original.

[Zook_Fan]

yeah the arb bars are to big and bulky im looking for a streamline look that i know bar gives

[Mike]

plus the arb bars are like 1000 bucks
imagine all the bar work you could do with a $1000 worth of steel

[Zook_Fan]

well the one i am thinking up will get change from $100 maybe if it is liked enough i can make a few up

[Mike]

i'm sure people would be interested if they were the right price

[Zook_Fan]

well i'll make mine up to find out the difficulty

I like! I'm thinking about ditching the nudge bar and getting something a bit beefier with the spotties mounted on that instead of the roof...

[Zook_Fan]

hey have you upgraded your alternator or dont the 4 spotties effect it?
