Outer Limits 4x4 Board

*pics of bar fitted at the bottom of the page*
I brought this bullbar for my WT sierra today. Its in pretty sad condition. i'll be cleaning it up, sandblasting,paint etc. (Hoping i didnt pay too much for it!)







i pulled it off a 81 NT sj410 1litre.

Anyway my questions are: what brand is it? and what do you reckon it would be worth?

thanks

50-100 but depending on state

paid 50 for it. i test fitted this arvo. looks alright.

had to cut off a bit of the mounts to make it fit. also i gotta cut out the section on the bottom for the shackles because they touch on it.

anyone know what brand it is?i cant find any markings on it..

looks allright!......mmmm....maybe a home made job.......

Looks home made to me too.

i'd be tempted to cut the corners of like this to give it a more flowing look

i was looking for something exactly like that for my zuk (ages ago!)...
ended up settling for a farm gate bar (crap) for a carton of beer...

For $50 And a couple of coats of paint, it should look alright...
as long as you dont have a BL, then you will have to muck about with the mounts.

Good work

I agree trim the wings and it'll look sweet and improve the approach angle.

hillbilly?

I reckon put it back on the fence pole it was swinging on and you'll find you cows will still be in the paddock in the morning

haha. thanks fellas.

trimming the corner bits would look good! im going to leave it as-is for now though.

heres the bar fitted. $50 for the bar + $10 paint + elbow grease/sanding = cheap bullbar.



approach angle


painted the two hook for fun

bar looks good, well done.

NB: just making sure you know that loop is for towing or tiedown point only it is not a snatch point.

i was told from a few guys from the zook club that its the best way to snatch a sierra apparently its quite strong im told

its only welded on, a proper snatch point should be bolted to the chassis rail with crush tubes inserted and using high tensile grade 8 bolts or better.

why risk your life and others by snatching of a 10mm bit of steel thats welded using suzuki factory welding(shite)

not saying you condone it but just for everyones safety.

thats what i thought too, but even the driver trainer seems to think its ok to use

i never needed to get snatched in my sierra so i was lucky not to find out how strong it is

That hook is strong as! But the chassis that is welded to it is NOT! My chassis is bent like a banana because of a mates ROCKY! I was very Grrr at the time, but now my bar covers it up

its a heap of shit i had it cut off after towing out a discovery it bent up horizontally and bent my front crossmember badly. after having it restraightened i am still yet to have it sleeved to improve strength.

lilzook, one of your pics looks like one of the front shackles could hit the lowest edge of your bulbar! It might be me or an effect of the photo, but if thats the case, you should rectifiy it!

Just in relation to trimming that bar...

I have an alloy bar with a similar shape to it & I hate it.

I am wanting to put it back on the zook as I have no protection at all & am going to move the original mounting points so I can bolt it onto the chassis rails. Will cutting the corners (wings) as discussed make it brittle or weak? It gets used to push other vehicles, jack off etc

I want to keep the best possible approach angle.

Ive snatched a troopy out with that point before reversing, I mean it wasnt heavily bogged up on the axles, Im sure its not the weld you would worry about more so the condition of the bogged vehicle, angle, and what not and what it might do to the chassis...? I would put it down to the situation on whether or not I would be using it to get some one out.
