    Custom Strut Braces for the Rear..

    So Ive and Tdurr was up to something lately, He did 4G towerbat mood, and gave me drawings and specks to do replicas of hes braces.

    Here are members that had signed up

    2) Rendon LX-i
    3) LX-incredible
    4) turabaka
    5) ired44

    12) Strugglebucket
    13) H2289Acc
    14) lostforawhile
    15) SILENT


    In the making




    and a finished product

    All TIG welded


    Anyhow, the idea is to make those, so you can use rear tower bar you desire.
    I still working on some clearances issues, but I'm getting ther..

    Lat me know who want one, so I know how many is needed. And give me a price youll like to spend on it, keep in mind, those are not that easy to make, and time consuming. The first one took me 2 hours.

    I'll take a set too. ...you might need to raise the height of the brace in order to clear the plastics so that the bar will attach through the access panel instead of needing to cut the plastic. Sick welding skills Tom.

    Re: Custom Strut Braces for the Rear..

    Damn son! u work fast!
    lol glad to be a help to you man, but you can use any strut bar off ebay that has the little bolt/allen key thing on the adjustable end.... one sec let me show u a pic..
    Ebay link: http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/_Car-...ht_2901wt_1071

    pic:
    just something like that, cheap ebay stuff.

    and to clear the plastic and stuff someone else would have to test fit it, cuz my trunk is gutted.
    to answer the question bout the amp, it depends on the bar and the amp+ mounting location. I had to move my amp from the back of my seat because it wouldnt let the seat close all the way.

    Re: Custom Strut Braces for the Rear..

    hey, try not to make it extend too far out wile u raise it, other wise some bars might not fit. but if it has adjustable end then you should have a good 2 in of play room.

    I really need a rear bar and $20 for custom brackets is very reasonable.
