100 series rear step bar

This is a major cry-out from a guy majorly restricted with a budget that sadly, may not fit the dream he has for his cruiser.

This is the rear step bar... In a perfect world the 100 series would have a rear step bar with a RHS wheel carrier. Can't afford it so has resorted to some 'metal bashers' (mates) who said they would give it a go. An idea was to get them to try and fabricate a copy of the bumper (which is damaged slightly) out of steel and then design some kind of wheel carrier to fit.

Does any one have photos, drawings, designs, or any ideas that they can post to me?

Thanks in advance

Why not take a drive to your nearest 4x4 second hand yard. There will probably be a few different designs of these on Cruisers in the yard.

Don't forget your digital camera.

I usually do my reconnaisance on a Sunday when the yard is closed so no annoying salesmen.

If your mate can afford a 100 he should be able to find another k or so for a bar? Or save up and get it when he can afford it.

If your mate is going to be travelling remote, he would be best off to buy a PROPER rear bar, or get some1 who knows what they are doing to make it.

It would suck ass to be in middle of nowhere, and go for a spare only to find that the few hunge he saved gettin dodgey bros to make him a bar, is 200klms back down the trail with his 2 spare tires still hooked to it.
