Yeah I tried a Flap disk, an abrasive disk like a hard sponge thing, the wire wheel was by far the most economical and least aggressive on the tube. I used a flap to clean things up after grinding.Originally Posted by lucus30
With all the internal angles and mesh the other options wore down pretty quick and really did take steel off too. The wire wheel just stripped the paint. Was a slog though!

I set up the roof rack in the car port a few weeks ago and gave it a paint with a long nap roller as the spray wasted so much paint!!!
I gave it 3 good coats.

So after it dried for a week I was not happy with the finish. The long nap roller left a stipple finish that was going to sh1t me forever so last weekend I rubbed it back with 1000grit wet n dry, then rolled it with 2 coats using a foam roller. So soo much better. Pain in the area but much happier with it and it's ready to mount.

OK, might of missed it but how are you mounting this. Does this bolt up to other bar work?

Now to the rear bar...........
I have decided I don't want to risk making a centre recovery point again so I have fitted the H&R tow at off the GUIV to the GQ.
THIS IS NOT A DIRECT BOLT UP!
The GQ tow bar bolts to the side of the chassis rail with 2 bolts. The GU tow bar bolts up under the chassis with 3 bolts..... I can make that work!!
I used so angle I had to weld nuts to to use inside the chassis rails.
First I drilled the holes in the angle and bolted it to the tow bar then welded the nuts in place.
Then I did some panel beating to my long range tank that has taken some BIG Hits!! Nothing a sledge hammer couldn't sort out.
Panel beating done.
