ok guys ive been thinking about making a bullbar for the cj7,but most cejays ive seen have either a bumper or a rock hoop....i need ideas as the last thing i want to do is build a oversize truckbar thats only good for ramraids... its got to look good, not be too wide (wheel line when turning)and functional(stop bushes hitting the guards) anyone whos built a bar for a 7 before , is it good? what would u have changed? have u thought of a bullbar design but never got around to it ? im fresh out of ideas.
Ive got a Currie front bar that you could look at, very similar to the Warn ones.
Also have an alloy front bar factory origional that needs a repair make an offer if you want it.
Go Jeep has a write up on his site about how he resurected an ARB (hilux?)bar for the rear of his XJ and also modded one for the front its worth a look, and his results are great.
here is the bullbar we made for my cj6 we made it out of a mercedes truck back bumper and a bit of pipe that we bent and it looks good so it isn't that hard

Nutbreak. Tip from an oldie. You may like to spread the anchor points of the bar so you can slide two strips of insetion rubber in there.
Don't bolt it down hard to the chassis ends! These little beasts (include the 6 and the like to have some flex room at the chassis ends and the insertion rubber really help in this regard.
regards

letting the chassis flex makes sense, but if its not bolted down hard how can u use the anchor points that are spread on the bar ........inserting rubber...its for the bullbar yeah
yeah im thinking alloy...as we are currently building a 8x2.5 metre mobile kitchen in alloy..i think there will be enough leftovers for a bar....is it off a y60 or mq ? ive got a mq knocking around and gq for measurements....any chance off a pic?
