thanks for the reply woody. i see what your saying and yes i have been seen leaving trenches from time to time. im not sure of the exact height of the hayman reese but its just a standard bar if that means anything. the only reason i was keen to copy bosshog's bar was how it sat under the tail gate and also how the two bars rap around the side of the tub. having said that i just had a peak in your garage and looked at your rear bar and it also sits nice and high. unlike the ARB ones i have looked at. (they work out to be the same height as my haymen reese)
can i ask who made your bar? and can you get them with the bars that come around the guards?
anyway i do agree with what your saying and will have to have a chat with scotty and see what we can work out.
thanks again. Nath

My rear step bar is supplied by Ironman - and i have replaced the actual step itself so that there is no gap between the tub and the bar.
Scotty is looking at a way of extending the circular tubes right around the bottom sides of the tub so that i have full protection. Once he has figured that out, and built a new one for himself, he will have two prototypes (D22 and D40) that he can copy as needed for people.
I still drag the tow bar through humps from time to time, but no where near as often as i used to. I was lucky on this last weekend away - i did not bottom out on the rear all weekend. (the front bashplate took a really good wack though).
