    I won't name them outright, seen too many name and shame threads on the other forum turn nasty and besides this is

    Tank scored some damage yesterday at Ripleys so a bit of TLC required - ripped the drivers side, rear flare and mudguard off on a fallen tree concealed by long grass ... Hmmmm ... Me thinks it's time for the rear custom bar and some modified mudflaps!!

    I'm opening this one up to the forum - thoughts on rear bars etc for a GQ? Dhuck an I are going to have a lash at a bit of pipe work ourselves, so open to design suggestions.

    I like you're thinking big man!!! Exactly what dhuck and I were thinking ... just need some thoughts on design and I'll definitely need to have someone else do the panel chop so it's neat and rust proofed and resprayed etc ...

    Thinking dual 50mm OD tube around the outside, opening up as they come around the back, with some flat steel on the top tube to mount a checkerplate tread - I'll out the trailer plugs and Anderson plug up under the plate to get them out of the way (they are getting hammered every time I go out!!).

    So many options, so little talent to do it!!! LOL

    Mate i rekon it was a 4wd custom or action mag that had step by step diy for the panel chop,(for GQ) I'll see if i can find it tonight was at least a year ago, but didnt look that difficuilt. Is scary to go cuttin into a perfectly good panel tho ay. Dunno if google would have it or the 4wd action site

    IF YA DONT GET STUCK YA AINT TRYIN HARD ENOUGH........OR YA TOOK THE CHICKEN TRACK

    Thanks mate - yeah, happy to do the bar work, but a bit nervous about using my rig as a test bed for my first panel chop!!
