    Custom Steel Bull Bar

    Hey guys, I made a new bull bar for my honcho seeing as I didn't like the stock one. This one was made from the side of an old computer case and a bit of flat steel about 3 or 4mm thick. It gives far better approach angle than the stocker and I liked the look of the dingo bar but I was too cheap to buy one and I would rather build one anyway. Its not too heavy but she sure is solid! I have to braze together the joints where it kicks back at the ends so it doesn't fold when I hit something, ill probably do that tomorrow. I might paint it but I kinda like the beat up look haha. Its all hand made and took me about a day to make, the worst part was hacksawing out the mounts from the steel, that took forever but its worth it. You can't see it in the photos but the mount bends at a 90 degree angle to meet the bull bar on the inside. Im thinking of putting some recovery points on it but we will see. Enough jabber here are the pics!









    I hope you guys like it!

    Thanks guys, I brazed it up today and the joins are pretty solid! I tested her out by smashing into some stuff haha. I knew if I broke it doing that I could fix it and its better to bust it now than on the trails!
