hey mate

i don't have any pics of my rear end specifically which is lucky for you!!! :lol:

have a look at my thread in the toyota or members section. I have a strongarm brand dual carrier, which essentially is the same shape as a standard bumper (ie wraparound), but is made of steel. It's quite strong and i have sat the full weight of the car on it several times. the only draw back is that sometimes when leaning against a tree or wall the bumpersides will mark the paintwork.

cheers

That's my troopy, it's a 78 series ( has 75 tail lights ).
I just welded a chuck of 100 x 100 3mm wall steel to the back of the towbar, then had the lot powdercoated and then screwed a bit of alloy floor plate on the top, It'll be easy to weld a wheel carrier on, I'll do that eventually but the wheel is on the door for now.

Hey Stu, do you have any other pics i could have a peek at? I'm making something similar out of 50x100, with tapered ends, but i'm worried it's going to look silly. But looking at yours i think it'll turn out looking good!

Also wondering if anyone has done a quarter chop on a troopy, with a bar that wraps around? My quarters are full of bog, and i think if the bar was made well (to follow the lines of the body) it could look quite good - even extending as far as the wheelarch (ala kaymar for 100-series)

I used the 100 x 100 because I ripped the fatory bumper off in the bush, and I had enough steel left over from my carport posts. It was about $100 for the powdercoat job and the alloy plate, pretty cheap. The high-lift goes under it perfectly, piss easy if you have a towbar on.

I'm also interested in making up ar rear bar and chopping my rear quarters (rust in the LH one) on my 70 series swb.
I also have a 2" body lift.. so would need to make a bar that matches..

has anyone incorporated a towbar into their rear bar..rather than having a hayman reece bolted up underneath?

anybody got any more ideas/pics?
cheers
