i like those cheezy bars, a mate has one on his GQ. i suppose any tube bar pics regardless of the vehicle would help...

Here is one that Sandy Rut knocked up for me. Based on the Fat bar, but made to be a little lighter.

IT has 3mm plate welded over the support brace (on top of the bar - triangle sections). These add strength and give you something to stand on to opperate when you are a short arse like me!

This is a tube bar designed and built by Dave at ACF Mt Evelyn Vic, on a production class car. It's been tested at Engel rnd 2 Cooma and it's all good.
The hoop over the winch can be totally customised to the customers requirements incuding 'wings' to protect the indicators...........
PM and I'll pass on his contact number............

Man that's hot who thought out your design

Do they also do other makes and models or is it a one angle grinder fits all sort of thing.

My attempt a few years ago

I don't have a GQ, I have an MQ but...

Here is a few pics of the front bar on it, also for PTO winch. A lot of these pics of bars posted so far look very similar so mine is just to give you some ideas on something a little different.

I am considering putting front blinkers in the bar, triangular section. Thinking grate it over and incorporate some LED blinkers into it. May also add a second fairlead down lower so I can run the PTO either way. Bar was built 6 months after winch cage so that is why they don't match 100%.

mate that MQ looks very well setup. i like what u have done with the barwork, looks tough as. all looks removable too? what are some of these bars worth to get made?

Post by **chunderlicious** » Sat Jul 05, 2008 11:22 am

cost me about 200 dollars in material and about 5 hours of stuffing around.

Thanks for the tips guys!

Post by **adriand82** » Sun Jul 06, 2008 6:23 pm

thats a nice and practical lookin bar.

Post by **twodiffs** » Sun Jul 06, 2008 6:41 pm

Thanks, this is photo of bar on my first GQ, it was strong but heavy and too big so went for a lighter but still strong design second time around.
Had a snatch strop break and come back at me one day and it broke my spotlights so now I put mesh on the bars.

I heard that ACF closed down, since being kicked out of Adrians "Rangie Automotive" due to a lot of unhappy, patient customers
That bar looks avarage anyway alot better bars on the market. Ontrack make a strong practical "winch challenge" bar

Dwanye your bar looks greats and offers the best of both worlds

i think that the bar looks great, im so sick of every single person with a FAT or CHEEZY front bar, i would much prefer this over something every other person has

any way this is my bar its by PATROLDOCTA, tuff as Sh!t, and designed to be able to take a hit without capsizing
