[KraftyPg]

I'll be offended of you don't answer

Offended, embarrassed it's one or the other.

 

[FatBoy89]

Too good mate. Nice and relaxing! How bout yourself?

 

[FatBoy89]

Stoked with the fuel economy with the exhaust and cooler.

Weekend has been relaxing, replaced a globe in the Hella,s. Was thinking about going hid,

 

[FatBoy89]

It worked well, but now when I turn them
Off my headlights look said they aren't even on..

Scored some bighorn 33's body lift gets ordere after rego. 2 weeks

 

[d22dave]

yearly bloody rego

 

[FatBoy89]

Yeah it's a bloody killer. Mine was due December 25th so I did 6 month rego last round to keep it away from Xmas. I don't really "need" these 33's I just want them. Planning a trip to Fraser in December. So main things are going to be fridge, canopy and rooftop tent after these 33's go
On.

Got bored today after taking the bike out

 

[FatBoy89]

Rear step needs to go. That and the tow bar gets caught up on EVERYTHING. Anyone know if you can lift a TJM bar?? To match a body lift? Apparently the bull bar isn't a possibility. Main reason i will be getting a genuine steel bullbar

Get one of our bars

TJM rear bar doesn't look possible to lift, TJM bullbar looks Ok to lift, not as easy as the nissan bar as the the mounts are pretty hardcore on the TJM. I'll be lifting mine in a week or 2.
With the rear bar the towpoint is very high as it is, another 50mm and it would really need a drop down hitch type setup. I'll see what it looks like before thinking about longer infill panel or something else to fill the gap. Either way still love the TJM rear bar

Post a couple pics of the mounts of you could?
That'd be great. Yeah with the tow ball height I'll just use a dropped hitch as I don't tow often and the departure angle is just horrible ATM. That tow bar he's caught up on everything! Rear step is just as bad.

Hey Scotty I do like your bar although at the price of $1400.00 it's a bit steep when a TJM bar will cost me less than half that.

TJM bars look less than half as useful. Just my usual pointless opinion

 

[KraftyPg]

There are no useless opinions, just useless people!

Hmmm that doesn't sound right

 

[FatBoy89]

It looked good to me. I don't go hard off road very often anyway. Just lookin for some protection

 

[justdrinkbeer]

They look to me like they make departure angle worse, same as the ARB one. I get hung up on my towbar all the time too, got a bar designed now, just need the time to put it together
