Thanks mate.

Well, had a good run this morning. Basically all I need to do now is to make the bracket for the lights.

Looks good. Notice the cable ties on the high lift jack. If you get some 6 inch storm water PVC pipe. Cut a piece about 6 inches long. Paint whatever colour you like. Squeeze it as you slip it over the handle and stem. Easy to put on/off.

Thanks mate, & thanks for the tip, will look into that :smiley_thumbs_up:

OK boys & girls, this bar is done & dusted. Ready to be fitted up next weekend.

Very impressive............

Cheers Mate :bigthumbup:

Is that a homemade jobbie or a refurbished one, either way looks Schmick. Well done if its a garage jobbie.

Thanks mate.
I made it from scratch mate. The complete build up of it is this thread :bigthumbup:

Me thinks you should use my GQ to build a prototype for the GQ's ( I get to keep when finished ) then go into mass production for both GQ and GU rear bars

Could be arranged :biggrin:

Hold up, paying customers first. Lol

A couple of teaser shots of the rear bar fitted.

Was dark when we finished, will get some better daylight photo's soon.

Wholy Hell that's a bar... Don't run up your ass.. looks tough as

Same idea I had though with moving the hitch up inline with the chassis to increase the decent angle.
How does the fuel tank look? Will it need more protection without the tow bar there?

And if you don't mind me asking were did you source them locks to?

Thanks Mate!!!
The fuel tanks on Nav's are in front of the rear diff, so no drama's there.
The over center latches (the ones that lock the carries closed) I got from Ovesco, the locks (the one's that hold the carriers open), I made myself.

Nice car mate, love what you have made for it.

Thanks mate :smiley_thumbs_up:

Here's some pic's (taken by the guy I built it for) of the rear bar fitted.......

How's that bar go at night mate? Looks good and that bracket looks solid.

Well done with the bar work, bloke. you have given me some food for thought. I will have to tack it all together and get someone else to weld it though.

Mate, have found it pretty good (only really tried it on the hiway last night after I hooked it up), has good spread & pretty reasonable distance as well.

Looks good. Just keep the mounts lite but remember side ways bracing.

Thanks mate :smiley_thumbs_up:

Got the rack almost finished this morning. Made a light rack out the front, just need to cut some 3mm plate & weld in. Then need to clean it up ready for painting.

http://i244.photobucket.com/albums/g...ps992a11e6.jpg

Spent a couple more hours today cleaning it up ready for paint. Welded in the mesh floor, & made the brackets to mount the rack to my Rhino racks.
