That looks good and strong. I am Interested to see how you attach the tow bar mount.

Thanks mate :bigthumbup: The tow bar will be the original one, I'm just building a replacement rear bar :)

Got some more done on the 'Trol tube rear bar .........................

Been looking troug your tread her. And I must say I'm realy impressed buy work you do. Gave me a lot of ideas. I will probably copy som of your creations(or at least try to).:thumbup:

Thanks mate :smiley_thumbs_up:
Go for it mate, after all, that's where I get some of my idea's from :wink:

Deadly could you take some pic's of how the rocksliders are mounted on the chassis rail. I understand how the u-brackets bolt up but I'm confused on the end with the straight flat bar
I have a 2003 troll and cant find where that flat bar end mounts on the car.
Cheers m8

Cheers mate!!

Nice Trol... Hopefully one day mine will be like yours...

:cheers: mate. I'm sure it will get there sooner then you think :bigthumbup:

Is that air going into the sliders so they double as air tanks.

Sent from me using Forum Runner

Yes mate, that is correct :smiley_thumbs_up: Each side holds about 7 ltr of air.

Rear bar all finished, painted & ready to be fitted this weekend.........................

Yeh I had a similar idea but instead of air putting some sort of bladder in them to hold water, was hoping to get them to hold around 10/15L per side. Will have to see though. The rear bar also looks awesome, good quality. Can't wait to see it fitted.

Lets see it fitted and give me a price bud....No, no, no! I must get my motor built...Goddammit!!!

Thanks mate :cheers:

That's an interesting idea, using them as water tanks !! Would be interested to see how you would get the bladders in :confused: I think you can get a paint type product that you can put inside, swirl it around, so the it seals & lines them to stop rust :confused:

Rear bar fitted.................

Thanks mate :bigthumbup:
The recovery points bolt straight to the chassis :thumbup:

No mate, the white one belongs to someone else, I just built the rear bar.

Walked into Opposite Lock in Gladstone today to buy the 2014 Tuff Truck DVD, and walked out with these :w1:

http://i36.photobucket.com/albums/e3...ps41957903.jpg



................and I didn't get my DVD, they'd sold out :d5:

Well, I've had enough of the small door on the rear nor having any latching mechanism to hold it open, so decided to make my own..............

http://i36.photobucket.com/albums/e3...ps87656974.jpg

http://i36.photobucket.com/albums/e3...ps9a14819a.jpg

Total cost..................less then $10.

When I did a service the other day, noticed there was some oil around the intercooler..............

................soooooooooooooo, out with the old, in with the new..............

Well that was one of the probs I was thinking of how to overcome as you can't put the bladder in and then weld it up for obvious reasons so I was thinking of some sort of flap on top that is hinged to access the bladder, but the paint thing wouldn't be a bad idea either. The only other prob would be algae building up if you don't dry it out properly.
