Hey guys its about time I put some bar work on the old girl, hit countless roos and she's all battered, bruised and falling apart

by **whitey025** on Fri Apr 04, 2014 7:47 pm

Thanks to who ever fixed that up for me. First time at this topic creating thing lol

by **c-dale** on Fri Apr 04, 2014 7:49 pm

Some tidy work there mate. Will you be cutting the bumper to fill the gap under the headlight or have another plan?

by **Cowboy Dave** on Fri Apr 04, 2014 7:51 pm

They're all the same photo link above. Give me a minute and I'll add them all in for you

by **whitey025** on Fri Apr 04, 2014 7:52 pm

Yeah mate going to do the brush bars and rock sliders and get it all powder coated first though. Hopefully have it all smashed out this weekend.

by **NowForThe5th** on Fri Apr 04, 2014 7:54 pm

Mate, you were posting them faster than I could remove them. :lol:

Still a problem with your pictures, though. I've had a look at your BBCode and it looks ok so possibly the problem is with Flickr. Is there an option to turn hot linking off? Bandwidth limits? I don't use Flickr so not sure.

Welcome to NewTriton anyway.

Edit: CD's already on the job.

Haha what's the word you guys you'd "NOOB" or something like that

by **whitey025** on Fri Apr 04, 2014 7:58 pm

Can't find anything but I'm on me phone so will try on the laptop later

by **Cowboy Dave** on Fri Apr 04, 2014 8:05 pm

I tell you what flickr used to be awesome. Each and every one of the clowns at yahoo that are responsible for what it has become should be taken out and shot... :roll:

by **Cowboy Dave** on Fri Apr 04, 2014 8:08 pm

For future reference the problem was that the links were to the mobile version of flickr (which makes sense since it was being done from a mobile) and there was no easy way to go from one to the other. I ended up having to go out to the main flickr page and search the user name and go in that way. Then their sharing interface sucks. I ended up using the one with the pin kind of logo and then choosing medium size. Much easier on photobucket I'm afraid to say. I used to pay my annual cash to flickr because it used to be the best there was but it's all been downhill there for the last few years. :cry:

Cheers man. So what you suggest I use? I'm only using flikr cause it's on my phone.

by **NowForThe5th** on Fri Apr 04, 2014 8:17 pm

Well done, CD. 8-)

Whitey, Photobucket is easy as, even after the last round of changes (that I don't like).

Love the engineering that went into that bracket. Almost looks like something from ARB.

by **Cowboy Dave** on Fri Apr 04, 2014 8:21 pm

Yeah I guess photobucket. I have the app but haven't played with it much. I use dropbox from the phone to the cloud and then post the images from a PC which is just easier all round. If you want to do it from the phone tapatalk makes it pretty easy to take images straight off the camera roll on the phone. Not sure if the free version is as good but the app itself isn't that pricey.

Great bar work, I like how you don't have to cut most of the lower half bumper off.
Nice work

Looks great well done on the build

by **lachiem** on Sat Apr 05, 2014 1:15 pm

Looks the goods Luke.
Are you going to powder coat it or leave it as is?
Also got a bit more info on the plate you used for the winch mount? Looks damn solid,

Thanks mate.Was going to powder coat it but now thinking of going multiple colors now, like grey bars with black inserts or white bars with Grey or black inserts what you guys think? It's alwars the hardest decision for me to make the color scheme. so would love some input from a third party. The plate for the winch is just 4mm mild steel and 63mm pipe farly standard I think.

Cheers

First off BOSS lookin setup.... :mrgreen:

on a serious note how do you go with Insurance and road worthy with custom bars ? especially air bag compliance ?

will you have to get an Engineering Cert ?

Are you filling the triangular gaps? with mesh maybe ?

Mojo... :?:

by **Kegsy** on Tue Apr 22, 2014 4:54 pm

Maintained the crumple-zone on the mounts... very trick 8-)

Awesome looking setup. Would look great with some dimple-dies on the wings IMO :twisted:

Top job.

Yeah mate supposed to get it engineered but will probably wait till lift and tires go on.

by **Amaroo** on Thu Apr 24, 2014 8:10 pm

Looks great, the white and black looks trick.

by **whitey025** on Sun May 18, 2014 5:49 pm

Hey guys bit of an update got the bash plates and side bars done just waiting for the weather to fine up so I can paint them. So in the meantime done some wiring.
