New GU front bar

Post by Robbo »

Have taxed off the smart bar in favour of something a little different, the wife is reserving her judgement for the minute. Care factor zero! Has proved itself at the recent pajero challenge when we struck a tree on the corner & for the 1st time in ages I didn't have to staighten the head light aim when I got home from a comp. I use a slow mount so probly why it looks a little smaller than others. Slow mount not for comp use hey juzza.

Might have been neater if I used a tube bender for all the bends, oh well next time. Is it air bag tested I hear you ask (cos mines an ST so has drivers bag) yes of course it is we hit a tree & it didn't go off, cool tested.

To MQ80 36's work great, had to move front diff forward with On Track 4x4 front arm spacers (15mm I think) just clear flare at mud flap mounting spot. Mine is petrol manual so has huge diff pumpkin in rear so must have large rubber to get reasonable clearence. Rock gears might be next on shopping list, low 1st a bit quick. On road is fine still punts along ok for a chuck wagon.

Yes please, when can I pick mine up. :armsup:


I didn't need to move my diff forward with 36" Pedes, just trimmed the inside of my front mudflaps but I am using GU steel rims so that is probably the difference.
