Now making, rear tube bar.

Hi all.
just thought i would let you know im making the rear tube bar today for a d22 as i had some spare time and spare tube.. should be done by tomorrow or friday (depending on if i keep having spare time) and will be way stronger and better looking than the calmini bar. price should be around the $550 but i will confirm that when im finished as well as getting some pics.

If there is interest when the pics are up i will make more, i can add spare tyre carrier also but will have to find a new supplier and depending on price of the kit might bump the price up to around $700 to $750. These prices are only a guide at this point, depends how creative i get when building them.

Cheers mark.

I will be interested to see the finished product.

Yeah me to. What model are these for...D40?

Sounds great. What is load rating going to be on these?

i would be interested in a few dimensions if ya dont mind. i likie getting too this stuff myself. has anyone had a go at a pipe bull bar.

i would be keen mud4b, cant wait to see the pics

Just reread the post and it sounded like i was putting calmini down, please note that i was not doing that.. the bar is going great, i think if i make more i will get the main supports/ recovery hooks cnc cut to save a hell of a lot of work, when these are done they will be that strong you could easily dump the weight of the navara on them and not bend them, or you can jack from them.

What colour should i make the std colour, black or the silver like arb? i think if the first one proves successful i will offer colour matching if wanted.Wish i could draw on here so i can give you a idea of what they look like.The only thing i can see being a hassle is the numberplate light, the st-r have them on the std bumper yeah?

cheers mark..

yeah mate, ive been looking into doin this for mine as well. The str has the license plate lamps centered in the rear step bar, wouldnt be too hard to mount something up, not too hard compared to the rest of the bar anyway

be keen to see your creation, might be easier for me to pay you to do it and go the silver!

I vote for silver too

The ST-R has two number plates lights, one each side of the plate, maybe just build the new bar so these can be re-used?

Yeah i thought so, the str rear bar i had, i sold, so i do not have the light to get dimensions ect....

so silver it is for the std colour. i will be making sliders and front bars asap also..

cheers mark.

That would be appreciated along with a pic if you can.. This is what i do for a living, mainly make tube buggies though and sell 4wd parts..

cheers mark.

Keen to see this too, I'm sick of my crappy rear bumper denting the tray.

Thats cool, be keen to see your rear bar when its done, and also some rock slider/steps. the rear lamp measurements are approx- front 95mm x sides 50mm x Back 85mm. Hope this helps...






Where abouts are you located??

Cheers for that, i have a plan for them.

i said it would be finished today but i have had holdups, im still working on it tonight though so hopefully it will be nearly complete. here are some pics so far.

The main mounts, std towbar bolts on underneath the lower mount.


The bar as it sits now..


The bar on the car.


cheers mark.

Looks great so far. Towbar compatible?

Looking very good, struggle street for your camera lighting-wise, so much gain noise!

Hey what sort of price for a set of sliders, front bar and rear bar for a D40?

Thanks.
the std towbar bolts as usual but the chassis mount for the bar is wedged between it.

cheers mark.
