i like those cheezy bars, a mate has one on his GQ. i suppose any tube bar pics regardless of the vehicle would help...

Here is one that Sandy Rut knocked up for me. Based on the Fat bar, but made to be a little lighter.
IT has 3mm plate welded over the support brace (on top of the bar - triangle sections). These add strength and give you something to stand on to opperate when you are a short arse like me!

This is a tube bar designed and built by Dave at
ACF Mt Evelyn Vic, on a production class car. It's been tested at Engel rnd 2 Cooma and it's all good.
The hoop over the winch can be totally customised to the customers requirements incuding 'wings' to protect the indicators...........
PM and I'll pass on his contact number............

Do they also do other makes and models or is it a one angle grinder fits all sort of thing.

Thanks, this is photo of bar on my first GQ, it was strong but heavy and too big so went for a lighter but still strong design second time around.
Had a snatch strop break and come back at me one day and it broke my spotlights so now I put mesh on the bars.

I heard that ACF closed down, since being kicked out of Adrians "Rangie Automotive" due to a lot of unhappy, patient customers
That bar looks avarage anyway alot better bars on the market. Ontrack make a strong practical "winch challenge" bar
Dwanye your bar looks greats and offers the best of both worlds

i think that the bar looks great, im so sick of every single person with a FAT or CHEEZY front bar, i would much prefer this over something every other person has
any way this is my bar its by PATROLDOCTA, tuff as Sh!t, and designed to be able to take a hit without capsizing
