Check out 04OFF's bar. He did a quarter chop. Having seen it in real life a few times, I think it looks great.
It's a prick of a job to get decent 90deg bend out of them press benders. Can be done but a pain. Have a look at jd2 benders. They are great. Not cheap but can be on sold once your project is finished.
Interested to see how this goes as this is something I have been thinking about doing.

This is one job that I like. I think the chop might not be necessary for this one but it was done so the lower section is not hanging down past the bumper....
Yeah! I know. I would prefer to use flat plate rather than the checker plate though. Somethings telling me I might be way out of my league with something like this. No harm in trying though..... I used to have the CAT mudflaps on my old MK, I so wanna put them back on too.

Yeah I saw a few pics of his. Very nice. Do you know if he made it himself? I do want to have a spare wheel swing away on mine though. I like the tail lights he's used too. Your not wrong on those benders. Gawd! I might be cutting corners and welding elbows onto straight pipe. Lol.

Made plenty if you need a hand, just around the corner so to speak.
you can get long radius elbows for a better look

04 ST 3lt auto, not enough Mods to keep me happy, but getting there
04OFF made it with the help of a former member after some issues with some local fab shops. Tbh that's about the extent of my knowledge. It does look nice.

You are a bit snookered material wise, be it pipe or RHS,
How about some laser cut profiles that make it your own.
Nothing worse than pulling up next to a Patrol that looks
exactely the same, mod wise that is, I hate it with a passion
I hated it when I was riding bikes and I still hate it now

Why am i snookered? I do like the pipe look of the bar. One day id even like to do a front bar, but the xrox ones are cheap enough to not worry about making one.
