hey mate, i recently made a bullbar for a 310 as well. its not too difficult to design depending what you want. (eg. winch mounts, if you have a body lift, tube or plate). i will take some photos of mine tomorrow to show you what i did and how i mounted it.

Hey mate i made a tube bar for mine its pretty easy as long as you can weld supports on and that its pretty simple. Where the hole is in the middle is where the winch is going to sit and the fair lead has to screw onto.

Heres a few pics of mine this was before i put the LED indicators on and put the number plate on properly:

and stripped down ready to paint:

If you want anymore pics mate just let me know and I can take a few more snaps :D I'll put some more recent ones and put them up tomorrow i hope this helps mate.

Cheers,

Simon

sorry it took me so long to get back on to show you some pics of the sliders. These were build last min for a trip and are basic as to make. i mounted them the way i did so they could be removed easily (when i get round to doing a better job) and don't cause hangup problems along the chassis rails.
