Outer Limits 4x4 Board

Hey guys, I've been looking around recently for a bullbar, and I came across these ones from SmittyBilt. I came across them on the Pirate4x4 wheeling site, so obviosuly these are from the states.

I think they look tops and I'm sure they look like they could take a bit of a beating. Here are a few pics, I need to know if these or anything close is available in Australia. Thanks.

ps. Winch mount is not necessary.

I think every man and his dog are making tube bars now arent they?

Cheezy, Hillbilly, and about dozen others would make one for u...

Where abouts could I find some info on those brands.....

and then look in members at GUJONNO's GU..

also search for the few threads here on bars, and barwork, there have been a few

Yea there definitatly has been a few, I've made a couple But that was before I Was sure I wanted a bar exactly like the one I posted. I haven't seen a single one like that available anywhere, or any on this forum.

actually you said "ANYTHING CLOSE IS AVAILABLE". You wont find anything off the shelf "EXACTLY" like that. You will have to have it made by someone who does custom work.

ive seen a bar like that on a zook up here in brissy. its parked in the vally pool carpark most days, no idea who it belongs to or who made it........but i like it and was gonna try and replicate it

Or find someone that can import SmittyBilt

look a little harder on pirate you will find that smittybilt is also called "shittybilt"

Yeah Bubs I did find that out.

But the bars seem quite reasonable to me, and it's only a bull bar, how can it be built shitty?

I'm hoping there is somewhere in AUS that can import those puppies, at a reasonable price.

Its only 3" exhast tube how hard can it be to get made localy?

There's some pics of the bar Stu from F.A.T. made for me plus contact details here: http://www.outerlimits4x4.com/PHP_Modul ... highlight=

He could probably custom make you something as well.

Not _quite_ what I'm after, but might be interested in a custom job. If you don't mind me askin how much did the bar alone set you back? PM me if you want it private. Thanks.

Just called up Tony from USA4x4 here in Aus (www.usa4x4.com.au) and he says apparently SmittyBilt don't exist anymore at all......but the SmittyBilt site seems to say something different (www.smittybilt.com)

I was only really after a bar like this because on the pirate4x4 forum they go occasionally for pretty damn cheap. like $100 US. I'm really trying to find a good looking one here in aus for under like $300. But I guess I'm just dreaming. No luck so far, and I don't have the skills/equipment to make one up. Maybe someone here will, on the cheap ?

dude, y don't u make one at skewl,

u could make one in a day easy.

not a very hard bar by the look of it.

I'd give it a raz at school but we dont have any tools for bending

I'm hoping if I pressure the teacher enough he'll crack and get one though. Then I'll tackle it.

Just buy some 3" Exhaust tube and some Mandrel bends and cut it and weld it together. These bars are built for looks only. They are not strong.

yeah, i'd agree with ruff,

or u could fill it with sand and heat it up and bend it,

they could show u how to use an oxy as well

hows ya tray goin anyway.

Yeah I'll put the pressure on the teacher for more gear. Make it a bit easier.

Trays getting there don't you worry, cut out the holes for the bee-bee style lights today Once I weld that drop plate on she's ready for paint then ready to mount. YEO!

I'll worry about the bar work later.
Don't have enough money/skills to do the roll bar yet.
