My Rear Bar for XJ
Well, after some inspiration from the well known members of XJs, I decided to fab some stuff. So far I have done the fron bar, and a steering brace. I didn't take many photos before.
This time I have started on a rear bar with tyre carrier. I have been working on this for the past month when I get time on weekends (not much), but have been too lazy to post pics and info.
I have researched a lot of other bars, both mass manufactured and custom, and hopefully have come up with something that will work and looks ok.
All the steel used has been bought as offcuts from the local steel merchant, so some of the sizes I wanted got substituted.
List of materials:
Main section 150x100x4mm 2mL
75x75x6mm angle 2mL
75x5mm bar 2mL
65x35x3mm 2mL
50x50x3mm 1mL
Tube 62mm OD 50mm ID x 6mm. 150mm L (free from work)
Bush to go inside machined from nylon (done by work)
120mm x 20mm HT bolt and nut x1
50mm x 14mm HT bolts, nuts and washers x6
Used both arc and mig to weld depending on thickness.
