Off the top of my head, I think cheezy racing, snake racing or BBM would do it:

www.cheezyracing.com.au
www.snakeracing.com.au
www.bbmotorsports.com.au

but none of these are near you.

www.cheezyracing.com.au are tops :cool:
I love my rear bar and carrier from them and they certainly do a good job with excellent finish.

I was just reading the latest 4wd Action, and Brooksy's work at "Custom 4x4 Fabrications" got featured at least twice. (07) 4194 1144, Hervey Bay QLD.

Nobody makes a good looking tube bar for either 80 series or GU's, the body lines etc of neither suit tube bars.

Basicly the same for rear bars on both. 80 series rear bars are just a pain in the arse because of the chassis and towbar setup.

I disagree, although I don't think I have seen a production tube bar that looks out of this world

No worries! Custom fabricating got quite a few mentions in the latest (errr... March 2008... why do I have March 2008?!?) 4wd Action mag... but Brooksy, the contact details they provided for you are already out of date!

yeah right you've gotta finish harry's yet!!

i don't know what i'm doin for a front bar yet thats why i asked the question for ideas.

i like the pics of the bar on that cut down 80 but i'm goin highmount coz i found out that you can't run 24v in trophy class so scrapped that prototype lowmount idea. and i'm gonna run trophy class till i turbo the big girl.

i moved everything under my house the other day, i was hoping to get flooded in by today so i didn't have to get back to work but sadly am back out for another tour

seemed to be a lot of talk but no pics? Only pics I've found is on the Cheezy racing site. 2DExtreme have a good price and really fast service but would like some more examples to see what tube bars look like on the 80 series.
