Double or Nothin'

Post by Buggerific »

Hi all...

Saw a truck when I was away in Jan which had scrub bars but it wasnt just a single bar from the bullbar to the step, it was two bars from the bullbar to the step then i think it combined into one...

Has anyone seen any photo's of something like this? I only saw it as it was driving past in the distance but it looked really nice and want to do the same on my truck but would like some inspiration.

Any info would be grand!

Each to their own... i personally think they look ok/good/sweet on the 79s, but not neccesarily on wagon models.

Just like an ARB/TJM/etc etc bar they serve a purpose, just as down in Vic simex get the nod in the goop but up north they choose claws/treps etc.

Well yeah, it's a great bar for preventing damage to the car. Great for the country (which is where I assume the vehicle is from) but of course no good for offroading.

Looks like more of a farmers truck than a weekend wheeler though so I suppose it really does what it's meant to.

I do always wonder though if there's a lever in the cab to lower the bar for use as a plough?

When I did some work in Mt Isa, I found those twin side bar systems to be a standard item on most fourbys. Most looked pretty good, better than those in the photos above. Some even intergrated them with good front bars with proper approach angles etc, but most were for country purposes so were a bit of bulldozer setup, plenty of steel.

I have seen quite a few in Toowoomba also.

that bull bar looks like a gate - should put it on hinges.
