Just took a few shots a couple of days ago of my bar at the painters. It has been further sanded and he has sprayed 3 coats of 2 pac primer which is thicker than normal primers. He said that is all that was needed to remove the marks left from the grinding and hammering I did to get it all nice and straight. He was next going to skim coat and block it, which is where they spray a very light coat of black over it so they know where they have sanded and any low points show up, before top coating it in 2 pac satin black. The bar was to be ready for pick up on Friday but I hadn't got my radiator back and was in the middle of installing an over head console in my Jeep so couldn't drive out to pick it up. Probably best anyway as gives it a bit more time to harden before fitting it.







Next shots should be the finished bar and fitting it.

Sorry for the delay on the finished photos but the weather has been really crap and I wanted to give it a cut and polish first. Not quite done with that yet and will take some more shots with my better camera next week.





As you can see not much sticking forward. Would be the same as a stock bumper.



The power steering cooler is all plumbed in now to after I bent up some mesh to go between the that and the bar. The lines were run to the return line which is not under pressure. I had already cut this line to add an inline filter to it so any wear particles don't keep circulating wearing things even faster.

A lot of work went into it but enjoyed doing most of it and happy with the end results.

I also just dropped the price on my former ARB bar with the same hitch setup in it to get it out of the way for $590 or $450 USD. to anyone who would like a piece of my work.

Well done Gojeep, the end product looks fantastic. Thankyou for putting your project
on display. I enjoyed the whole story. It nearly makes me feel like making something
"nearly".
