Yer mate once I get it back from northside 4x4 tomorrow arvo.

hey gunnings.. when you get a chance, could you please take photo of your rear bar how it's bolted on to chassis?
i want to see how much protection it will give me under back of the tray.
Thanks again

That's what the spare tire is for

i'm just curious if MCC rearbar do have protection under rear quarter panel like kaymars. seems it's one of most vulnerable place to get damage from departing at sharp angle.

yer the rear of the tub does get knocked around, If i can find someone with a pipe bender id run a loop around both sides.

Mate you could use steam pipe and the weld in bends. That way you can use a heavy wall tube. You can get everything from Metal Land or similar. Or you can drive south for 12hrs and use my pipe bender.

Mate thats tempting!!

It would cost you more in fuel than buying a bender.

 

[gunning1987]

No tempting on the steam pipe and welding it up...haha

 

[Navmania]

Ha. Was going to say Crazy keen. With the weld in bends it would be easier to get the positioning rite. I would just mark it out on a level floor.

thx for the pic gunnings. only if it had some sort of protection to save that rear panel would make purchase without hesitation. now i must meditate and think lol

 

[gunning1987]

If you see in the last picture that lower bend is lower then the quater panels. Also is goes from each side of the chassis rails as its also the tow bar.

I am using the ARB rear bar for that reason. Rear protection and strong mounting points.

The MCC jack bar has the protection your looking for.

i'm being bit greedy here.. was planning to get arb one but same time wanting wheel carrier.
i looked at kaymar and they quoted me $3560. that's almost 4times more than ARB rear bar.
i saw mcc ones selling at $1760. which to me it's way more reasonable price. i'm still leaning towards mcc wheel carrier. no way i would pay $3.5k for wheel carrier.

Mate that was my delemma aswell, like suggested earlier abit of tub and a weekend you'd have the protection your chasing.

 

[TigerST]

I'm still not sold on the need for a wheel carrier. But they do look alright

Made some new side wings for the rear drawers and mounted my switches and cigarette socket with resetable fuses underneath, Voltmeter and a Ctek Battery monitor as well. Also fitted a tank gauge on the opposite side.

Changed out the Strut top rubbers to hope that it fixed a squeak!! but it didnt

Bull bars coming off next to see if its in there.
