I just fitted my home built rear bar on wednesday,its nothing too outragous but is functional for what I needed.
it gives me some protection in the bush with out compromising departure angles too much,as well as high lift points and a step to access roof racks when required.
I will fit some alloy tread plate to the top to it shortly for abit more grip and maybe a couple recovery points.
all up took about 2-3 days to knock up on and off
had to modify and refit my home made tub rack as well inside the canopy for our "Cape trip" in june. Aswell as a million other things that need doing before then.
