KK Rear Bar

[hopwrecked]

As promised KKers I'll get this thread going to show the progress on my new custom bar I have being fabricated for me up for me.

I had a bar built last year so I could carry more fuel and a spare in an easily accessible place.





After a year I damaged it by reversing the jerry can part into a holden captiva. It tore up the captiva but the bar stood up to the impact really well. Given I was paying out on excess anyway I had the whole thing replaced. This time I order the Jerry can top to be lowered so it would be more usable as a table. I ordered a front table and a rear table, max trax holders built in and I asked for the in built water tap to have a little less pressure.

The tap is basically the spare wheel arms internal space as a water tank and an electric pump like a windscreen wipers pump. Great for washing your hands after putting away recovery gear or after fishing etc.

I also had things changed slightly so the split window would open even with the Jerry can and spare wheel arm locked into place.

So here is the progress in picture...still some work to go but you will get the idea.

Once its all done and he knows what he wants to do I'll throw his details up here in case anyone else wants to talk to him about a bar or rack.

Does what I need so I'm happy.

Looks impressive. My only concern is its legality. Has anyone looked at it?

Yeah but I guess that's buyer beware in this age of big lifts and 4by mods. I'm just posting up what I did after several requests too, in threads and PMs.

I only raise the 'legality' question as a caution. The automotive industry is heavily regulated by the boffins that write the rules. Check overhang rules.

You may fine a friendly policeman who doesn't care. But you may fine one that does. If you are involved in an accident what about your insurance?
