I am sure the buddy bar will be sexier

[Hilux Max]

Its a different style of bar Jack, you cant compare the two....buddies is a plate bar where the one in pics above is tube based.

Freight will be expensive from South Africa to Rocky

[Hilux Max]

Yeh but knowing what Uys can do, I reckon the freight would be worth it! Good luck wth it mate. Can't wait till you show us the finished product.

Thanks guys! I have started work on it, don't know how to post pics here - do I need to host them somewhere else, or can I host it here?

In the mean time, you can follow the build here:

Here Uys.....just copy the image location from that forum inbetween the codes -

I am hoping it turns out well, or otherwise somebody might get it for a bargain early next year.

PS: The redback weighs 53kg, and the front end lifted by 13mm when I removed it!

Some pics of my design so far:

Thanx Max -was just bout to try it when I saw that you did it for me!

PLease give me some opinions on the size of the pipes. the top one is 63mm, but looks out of proportion to me - -what is your opinion? The lower one is 50mm

[Hilux Max]

do it all out of 50mm....the 63 looks too big.

[Marshwa]

i personally like the look of a thicker top bar. but havn't seen one like it in person so not sure. Be a bit of extra weight too

[Uys]

So I made the proposed changes. I am not fitting the winch to the bumper any more - a winch plate will be used to fit the winch lower - on the chassis.

Updated pics. I'll order the stuff from Laser cutting next week.

[Sr5luxy]

Very nice

[Uys]

Here is the final design - I ordered it from Laser cutting this morning.
