try Cheesy Racing or pm joeblow on here, dunno if he does that stuff any more tho. worth a try.
or wonder in to ARB those blokes might know of someone in your local area.
Having said that there is no better way to learn than to do it youself. Plus you get to buy yourself a pipe bender and a welder. :armsup: for new tools.

swinging a 33" spare off something you 1st learnt to weld on might not be a good idea though,i dont know if following cars will appreciate it falling off. :lol: just have a go at a few things,no better way to learn and it beats just throwing money at everyone all the time.some jobs are best left to the pros but you have gotta start somewhere.

Hey wideaz i saw you cruising through franga the other day. If thats your usual haunt try smithies outback gear in Cranbourne. he's a great bloke and should be able to knock up something for you. depends what you want exactly.

I learnt how to weld making all the bar work for my zook and found it pretty easy and very rewarding! Much, Much cheaper way to go than buying off the shelf. If your going to make a swinging out rear bar make sure you do a lot of measuring and abit of research into how it's all going to fit together and support the weight of that rather large tyre and jerry can.
