Hello,
I have to buy a rear bar for my patrol because my rear door is starting to drop because of the extra weight of the 35 spare tire.
I realy dont like rear bars, but what can i do?
i am eather looking at the ARB or Kaymar, what do people find is a better bar?
Thanks

Hi Brent. Recently I took the Kaymar rear wheel carrier - the one that goes over the existing bumper - off my 80 series & put on a Stronarm rear bar with twin wheel carriers. The Strongarm comes in cheaper than the ARB & Kaymar units. It doesn't incorporate a tow bar (had one of those anyway). It does come with easy to operate latches & LED lamps. What sold me, apart from the price were the highlift jacking points.
The only negatives were a few problems with the length of the wheel studs and the highlift jack mounting brackets' backing plate. I would have prefered the wheel studs to be threaded into the rear wheel carrier backing plate rather than welded.
I fitted the bar myself. No instructions but pretty straight forward.
Cheers Tony
