Get Howatt Engineering in Wellington to make one up. Got Brian to make mine adjustable and stronger.
Certainly feels and looks a lot more solid.

Was yours just the factory one extended for the lift?

Sounds like the go to get one of those made, that brian in wellington does a lot of modding so I would say your safe with one of those even with your mud splashing driving style :evil:
