Mudski GU Build Thread

[PeeBee]

Thanks Phil I may take you up on that offer. Not sure how to use them but I’m sure I’ll learn.
Almost time to remove the bar and get the grinder out.
I’ve been toying with the idea of cutting the loops off the ARB bar and just having the steel bumper section. I kinda like the look of that but I do realise the usefulness and added protection the loops give.
Thoughts?

Mark, I am probably going to be over at MB's and AB's work early next week to drop some goodies off, so happy to drop it with them - suspect its a bit closer Xmas Hill than Knox? Let me know by Monday and its done. Its really simple to use, you cant stuff it up and cant break anything - just my type of tool!

Yeah kinda undecided. I saw a GU same as mine with a cut up bar and it looked really good. Just not sure though...

Must say, some of our Arctic snow truck members nudge bars look awesome too!
Fortunately for them though there’s not too many roos over there or track edge saplings hindering their open plains driving.
Had only a custom built heavy C channel nudge bar on an old FJ55 years ago with my first stocky 2.5hp HM top half sitting proud up and unprotected. Looked great but really forced me to choose stupid lines along tracks just to protect its head lights and panels which in turn no doubt caused more damage underneath dropping into ruts and the like that could have easily been avoided by just deliberately clipping a few whilst barging through!

So what size cable should I buy? I obviously need cable ends too.

It's a 130+ Amp motor, probably 70mm2 is what I would use.

[Rossco]

Yeah go 70mm most run that with HM's

Righto so she’s done. Got my Stainless screws and they’re in. Apart from making the leads. It’s almost time to remove the bar.
