Safari side bars/ sliders

Post by turoa »

Curly said I should throw up a few pics of the bars I made for his wagon, so here they are.

He asked for them to join up to the current bull bar he has which wasnt a problem. I only had his wagon for a couple of hours for 3 days as he was using it, and so had to do as much as I could while he wasnt there. Luckily we have dads nissan in the shed atm (slapping an ls1 in). Unluckily it has a bodylift and cut guards so I could only use it to visualize stuff.

I really cant stand the look of sliders which stick way off the body and dont even attempt to follow body lines so ive tried to make it as tight as possible.

Hopefully these pics will give others who wanna do something similar an idea.
