No Worrys
Glad to help

Hmm, nice

I quilte like Hosehustlers basic design but will probably end up covering the headlights too

I also like the way Worzel has used the chequer plate, is that alloy or steel?

I like, but am looking at angling the bottom bor down in the center of the front, make a good area for the winch,fill the with steel diamond plate, bring the top hoop our further, fit 2 pairs of spots and a smaller diam loog around the headlights

Time to get a frontal pic of my truck and hit the graphics program

[nstg8a]

is that a commercial design or a homebuilt one?

thats exactly what i want for mine...

[rokhound]

Depends what you want from your bar?
Are you going to hang a winch from it? Do you actually want it to usefull and not impede approcah angles? Do you want to impede air flow to bottom tank of radiator? Do you want to protect panels from frontal, side and top damage? How heavy do you want it too be? Do you dumb arseed tow hooks that hang upside down or on their side? Are asteheics important? Can you build it, or do you have to pay some one to do it?


All sorts of shit you need to think of. Answer all the questions that relate to you and then look through the pics the guys have put up.


Oh this is my bar:




And:



I don't believe in hanging a winch off the front, as you don't always want to go forwards, hence no facility for a fairlead.

Homemade.
