MudRunnerTD's GQ From the Ground Up

[MudRunnerTD]

If you build them properly and still damage them enough to rebuild or replace sections, there will be more pressing issues that need attention before the barwork.

I tagged you in a set this morning, they're good. I personally navigated the owner into a position where they were needed to do their job and they did it just fine

I can't wait to get these things on mate, the last few times i have had the GQ out i have done big panel damage, These are designed to protect me from that. I don't expect to damage my bar work, its solid but i do expect to lean on it regularly, its just where we drive. Roof Sliders for the win

The Camburgs will make giving bar work a fresh coat of paint easy which will be great.

You didn't tag me this morning mate.... Share!

Cheers mate, just had a look. That is identical to what I have bent up for My GQ and ABs GQ. I used 40nb 3.2mm wall (48.3mm) which looks a little heavier than that bar work. But basically identical.

Yeah thats heavy wall 32nb. Keeps they weight down a bit and still lets you get to the fuel filler. Obviously not a huge difference in size but it is tight around the filler. You'll have ro remove the filler cap

40nb with 3.2mm should only be 46.4mm od?

Yes you are right. I was told it was 48.4 but I have not measured it. The dies suit this pipe exactly.

[BigRAWesty]

Yea most dies are made for standard pipe sizes..
It's going to be interesting doing 40mm stainless which is actually 38.9mm od in a 32nb die 39.5mm..
Might need to shim it..

we should also weld that extra support on the rear scrub down to the rear bar as well.
