going to be making new bars soon. as my rear step broke off, bullbar doesnt have anyroom for me to get to recovey hooks, or anywhere to put them ect. and i would like a roll bar.

so what i need is pictures and plans of what you have made (if you dont mind me copying?)

want a bull bar that is fairly small, and has somewhere can recover from, or somewhere i can get to to put recovery hooks (chassis rails ect)
i like the look of the one on mark4x4's, or one of the ones that screwy has had (about page 3 of his member thread)

rear bar... something simple, maby 2 round bars, then bends at the end to go around the rear 1/4ers. also has to let me get to recovery hooks, or be able to have them on it.

roll bar.
just a simple but effective one, peice over the top and 2 bits down the back. with mesh on it (like cargo barrier)

so yeh, if you have made your own post pics, and if you dont mind plans also.

thanks.

(for a 83 swb MK patrol.)

well the tube bar i used to have was basic enough looked alright, but i could of done alot better... was being lazy when i made that.....

rear bar wise, have a look at Heathx4 members and see his rear bar...

also have a look at OZY1 GQ swb his rear bar is sorta wat u might be after, its on a GQ but have a look for ideas....

for the front bar, just have a look through the GQs in the members as there isnt much in the way of that stuff in MQs on outers....

user name RYAN, has an alright front bar you might like if you dig up his members wil be quite a few pages back....

rollbar, i had one on mine when it was a shorty with the soft top which is prob wat ur after.....
