    I have found this one which looks pretty decent for the price.

    I would prefer and alloy one though to keep the weight down, any recomendations for a cheap alloy one?

    Yep....don't buy a cheap one. Buy a good quality/good value one. Buying cheap will nearly always result in further expense.....

    I wouldn't get it.. 50kg, that's near half your allowed weight up top..
    If you don't need a full length go smaller..

    Cool cool, really want a full length alloy one though.

    Might have to shell out for a ARB or Tracklander then.........

    @ Ozzyboy, Guy up the corner has one of these on his 80s,
    only thing he said as we were only talking about it on the weekend.
    was not enough powder coating where you can't see, causing rust marks.
    plus its faded very quickly, only extra $80 to either powder coat again or grab some good enamel
    Galvit spray cans and spray the lot again, other than that well built and tough as,just the finish letting it down.
    could weld on all tabs for lights and awning before hand, just putting it out there, would I buy one, oh yeah

    Like others have said, go for quality. The alloy ones are not as popular as steel so there's not too many available second hand. You can normally get one for half price if used of either. Steel is probably easier to weld if you best it half way long the Simpson
