I am flying out from site today, saw this at the aerodrome.... I don't know what to think. It's well built well though and looks like it's off the shelf. Didn't get a real good look though.

haha!!
This was on carsales sometime last year...

Well it's found its way out to the middle of Qld. Couldn't get any further from civilisation. I don't know what it's doing here, considering we don't have any petrol around here

nice calf plow, it's not big enough to be a cow plow. looks like a "tough bars" construction.

Looks a bit like one of those Tuff Bullbars and brush bars they make for landbruisers

edit, just saw Ataris post

lol i just threw the image into photoshop to measure the approach angle in the 2nd pic... its 22 degrees! LOL! and the image isnt directly side on, so its prolly less than that =)

I wonder what that thing weighs!? If you jumped on the brakes I reckon you could stand it on its front wheels!!

[BertZook]

talking about farm gates

how heavy that shit would be?



talking about jimny bars, once a few months back I saw a jimny in Brisbane with this kind of bar



I saw it from the street so I couldnt take a pic, but it actually looked pretty good and like an of-the self bar too.... no idea on wht brand could have been

Twas alloy my friend.
That other bar just looks like an arb knock off

[BertZook]

it would be interesting with that bar to check engine oil, fill the watter bottle ect.... on the upside it looks like theres enoguh room for one to sit down on the bar and work on the engine


I know it would have been an arb knock off... but donno if would have been an ironman tjm ro any other main brand.. as the bar looked pretty good and offtheself production, rather than something cheap made

[atari4x4]

it's got a MACK bulldog on the bonnet, that must make it a truck then.

Do the planes out there run on diesel?

[Scales]

No... Av-tur a1 like almost every aircraft turbine engine. (I was an aircraft engineer, now a turbine specialist). Regardless, they don't refuel at our strip (no fuel for those things either), nearest avtur is at Cloncurry.

Nearest unleaded petrol bowser is about 300km away. Not really practical. We have plenty of dieso though

I don't like it, poor Jimny. It's out in the middle of nowhere so other Jimnys can't bag it.

[BertZook]

similar style of what I saw, but in aluminium

I like the top part a lot, but the bottom part is too big IMO... plus it needs bit more angle so the bar wont be as flat

a bottom part from an ARB plus the top of thisone would make something interesting

That 1st bar is ugly, tho I want to add the tree sliders to my bar they would come handy

[aussiepat]

Made to order in the Isa, nice looking chickade driveing last time i saw it.

[BAZZOOK]

[zukenutter]

At least that looks a lot more in proportion
