custom rear bar

[4wdnut2012]

I am planning to do a custom rear bar. What would be the best thickness tubing to u
se?

[Bigrig]

3mm thickness .... OD (outer diameter) is really up to you, but I used 60mm on top and 45mm for the bottom section. Both 3mm thick though for required strength.

Thanks for the help I will take the advice on board when I start making it.

yeah my rear bar is about 5 or 6mm too. Overkill but it will never ever bend.
