You could in theory build a rear bar big enough..... imagine a rear bar about the size of the 100 series Cruiser..... then double it in width. Then double it again :D

Or run a normal steel bar, with some additional pipe like rocksliders running under the bottom of your quarters somehow attached so that when it takes a hit it doesnt move much.


Measuer how wide it needs to be - you'll find that there's at least a foot in height between the normal line a wrap around rear bar takes and the bottom of your quarter.



Most of the damage though normally comes from the end flaps of the weak GQ rear bar bending up... if you remove them and replace them with something more solid that comes around the side you may get away with that, a fair bit of lift and careful driving.
