Outer Limits 4x4 Board

looking for different designs for doing a front tube bullbar and am stuck for a few ideas.
thinking of doing just one bar with a hoop for spotties.
not needed for winch just want something different.
Anyone got pics for inspiration?
Cheers Dan

I made this primarily as a winch bar but it may give you ideas. Bumper fits over the top if wanted.

yeah that looks hot. want to try work it out with just the one bar like your top one and do a little hoop 4 spotties.

thats like what i was thinking of.
what are those blinkers and parkers off?

You can buy them at Supercheap or Autobarn type places.

Watch out for Qld Transport with those clearance lights as indicators. When I enquired I was told indicators and parking lights must be ADR compliant AND marked so.

UUUUuuummmm, yes you're correct and when I'm told "Offically" I'll change them.

I have simillar shaped LED blinker & park lights that are adr approved (and marked) and they only cost me 10 bucks each from a truck shop!

Found this pic of them.

What brand are they and do you have part numbers. Have you changed your flasher unit to a no load unit to make them flash at the correct speed?

www.brightlightautoparts.com have the lights that you seek.

simple unit knocked up for my rig...

A $165 "official" direction.. NOTHANKS.. I didn't want to run the risk of being pulled over for something as obvious(& silly) as lights, and then have a ticket issued for tyres, trackwidth, no mudflaps, spotlights etc etc etc

man you do your sponsors some great service

I found another place in the US that does the ones I gave a link for at a lot less but can't the link at the moment. I just like the stealth look of them.

Do you have any pics of the lights on the Sierra?

I reckon its good that you do pimp them. If the products are good and you use them why not tell people about them. Much better praising good products and service than slagging off bad stuff

They may be adr approved as clearance lights but prob not indicators and parkers. I had similar ones on mine that were adr approved but i still got defected for them in qld transport inspection.

i made mine,



if i did it again, i might have put hoops to protect the front quaters, like a tjm or arb bar.
cost me under 100 bucks

I found these in my roll cage ideas folder. I collected a heap of pics before I made my bar.

Taken to extremes!

i like the style of the blue one in the second pic. are those side bars on the 45degree angle just there for the blinkers protection or for overall strength.?
Thats what i want but if i can get away with not using those i will for sure.
Oh and i had a good look at a few blinkers on different cars 4x4 etc and didnt
see any adr compliance markings on any of them.
I can get wholesale prices on trailer lights and have found some clearance lights that are similar to the guard blinkers on the zook that i may use.
Keep the advice and pics coming cos it will be a good help to others too.
Thanks dan

Both of the pics are the same bar.. before and after paint/fitting.
The 45 side bits are more for strength than looks, just convenient the indicators fit there I think.
As for which lights you use, thats up to you.

Here's one I had made. Heaps of room for a winch if ever needed.
I still dont' have any decent indicators, may have to find some new ones before selling the beast...

Heres one i made a couple of weeks back for my zook its not a tubey but i just wanted to show it off
Its been finished off with bling alloy checker plate in those gaps between the top of the bar and the body. (soz don't hav a photo yet)

Are you guys keeping them a certain distance out in front of the vehicle (200-300mm by the looks) for cosmetic or legal reasons?
They all (99%) look real nice.

i like kitika's bar looks sweet thats what i would like for my beast.
probably shorten the uprights a bit and mount the spotties elsewhere but each to their own.. more pics and info mate
what thickness are the uprights and what angle did you cut the tube on?
