Thinking of making a rear tube bar for the GU....

Check out 04OFF's bar. He did a quarter chop. Having seen it in real life a few times, I think it looks great.

It's a prick of a job to get decent 90deg bend out of them press benders. Can be done but a pain. Have a look at jd2 benders. They are great. Not cheap but can be on sold once your project is finished.

Interested to see how this goes as this is something I have been thinking about doing.

This is one job that I like. I think the chop might not be necessary for this one but it was done so the lower section is not hanging down past the bumper....

Whoah, that is nice.

Whoah, that is nice.

Yeah! I know. I would prefer to use flat plate rather than the checker plate though. Somethings telling me I might be way out of my league with something like this. No harm in trying though..... I used to have the CAT mudflaps on my old MK, I so wanna put them back on too.

Yeah I saw a few pics of his. Very nice. Do you know if he made it himself? I do want to have a spare wheel swing away on mine though. I like the tail lights he's used too. Your not wrong on those benders. Gawd! I might be cutting corners and welding elbows onto straight pipe. Lol.

Yea bloke something like that would be nice.

Made plenty if you need a hand, just around the corner so to speak.
you can get long radius elbows for a better look

04OFF made it with the help of a former member after some issues with some local fab shops. Tbh that's about the extent of my knowledge. It does look nice.

You are a bit snookered material wise, be it pipe or RHS,
How about some laser cut profiles that make it your own.
Nothing worse than pulling up next to a Patrol that looks
exactely the same, mod wise that is, I hate it with a passion
I hated it when I was riding bikes and I still hate it now

Why am i snookered? I do like the pipe look of the bar. One day id even like to do a front bar, but the xrox ones are cheap enough to not worry about making one.

40nb is what you want at least. It can take a fair hit, and 12mm plate with incorporated recovery point for the chassis mount
