Hi folks, with the weather as it has been here in melbourne I figured it was a good chance for me to get aquainted with Google SketchUp. I've attached 2 pics of my first real go at designing something with this programme and I think it gives a pretty good idea of what I'm aiming for.

The basic replacement bar idea is done, now I have to figure out how I'm going to draw the swing arm assembly. That'll happen later as now I'm off to the wreckers in search of a CV retainer clip and design mounts for my bull bar :twisted:

Cheers,
Owen.

Cool layout, mate!

Did you get lucky with your CV circlip? I had quite a lot of experience with them, if you need a hand on Saturday...

See you on the weekend!

Cheers,
Pedro.

mate thats great but its not even going to come close to bolting up to your car.

I realise you are just drawing concepts at the moment, but you need to take your rear bar off and have a look before you get too carried away. You really cant do much with a lib to gain more ground clearance. the bumper is not the problem, the rear body work hangs down really low.
