Got a fair bit done today, main bar is done and side wings are welded on.. Stub axles are also welded in ready to go.. Starting to look like a bar now me thinks.. Next is to recess all the lights in and finish the wings..
Few more shots

Thanks guys, I'm pretty wrapped with how its coming along.. Yes they are stub axles, one will be for a swing away tyre carrier and will also have my high lift jack mounted behind the tyre as well.. Otherside will be a jerry can holder..
So far steel, stub axles and a few other bits and pieces have come to about $150 all up so I reckon total cost will be under $500 including getting it all powdercoated at the end
