Turning $100 Marketplace BULL BAR Into a CUSTOM BAR... (FACTORY BUMPER STYLE)

[@darcysmith369]

When cutting ali you can just use wax on the cutting disc, cut into a candle then when disc grips up again just repeat. Same as when sanding it, Works well good and no mess 👌

[@runninlow9609]

Candle wax for the win!!! I was just about to comment on it, but thought I would see if anyone else users the one and only best was to cut or flap ali

[@mortimore14]

Looks mint, on budget and hand "made"....great job!

[@coreymitcho]

At first I wasn’t sure but after seeing it in the sun it looks terrific! paint looks mint as well!

[@Brooks-97]

At first was unsure if it would look good but once the bar was on there all polished up with the spare wheel on it really popped with the paint, looks great absolutely loving the look of it

[@mikew1854]

Looks fantastic. Love the old school chrome look when everyone is doing the opposite

[@NateH-qd7bm]

One of the best looking GQ's I've ever seen!

[@toddmillar4041]

I'm a hoops on man. I love in WA where roo's and cows are everywhere on the road so full frontal protection required. With no lights and everything all blocks it reminds me of the American Scout pick ups.

[@mcgonical]

Looks great. Got an American classic truck vibe going on.

[@day_for_it]

Man that's a sick result for the amount spent. See alot of people with 79s leaving the bumper on but like you said they can stick forward and look like a fat bottom lip. Keen to see if you can fit a winch, and I think if you put some spotties on would look mint. Keep it up mate loving it

[@Casitaboys]

Bar actually looks super sick. good job.

[@jessecollins5366]

Mateee, in RoamLyfe we trust👌🏾Was hesitant at the start but it suits the direction your going perfectly. Sleek and a hybrid of modern/classic🔥🔥

[@Twisted4x4Australia]

Definitely be great to see with all the missing bits and I reckon it will look awesome!

[@jeffreydean1032]

Love this build. Been driving GQs for 20+ years. Currently have a high roof wagon and a ute. Great to see great custom builds. Bumper looks great

[@moeRXPx]

Looks awesome and different than every other patrol. Consider grabbing some metal polishing grinder wheels it’ll bring it up allot more as the grinder can generate more heat

[@jasonh4167]

Bumper looks good for what was spent on it, I would keep polishing it some more to match chrome grill a bit more.

[@c_man2424]

looks freakin awesome, it almost looks like an american truck with the front bumber, lovin it.

[@Owiee_d]

I legit bought one of the same bullbars the other day to to do the same thing, so I’m keen as now after seeing how damn good yours turned out man 👌 love it

[@Heavensentadventures]

Bar came up heaps better than I thought it would. Very impressed. I reckon better than those stock bumpers.

[@RichieHProductions]

That looks great! Fits the car so well

[@Lewiss248]

im planning to do up a pretty clapped out 80 series with my pop your videos are so great for inspiration

[@merinofarmeragriculturewor4623]

Looks so good mate & looks mint as 👍🍻🇦🇺

[@steven7119]

Good choice on cutting the hoops 👌🏻 highly rate it

[@LAWSIE100]

Looks terrific, I used to run polished alloy. I reckon if you hit that thing with some purple polish. you'd get a bit more shine.

[@BlackBetty1989GQ]

awesome idea mate thought about doing it today but couldn't visualize it great video.

[@joelschneeberger1367]

Love the bar looks way better than I thought it was going to 👌👌

[@DenisColdham]

New bar looks mint! Great job mate!

[@AJ29430]

Bar looks good, cheers from Perth

[@aarontownley1]

Mate that looks freakin' awesome. Well done!

[@OurTone1111]

Dope, love the boxy look

[@dodgyass11]

dood thats sick, loving the build get that winch in!

[@sammya3756]

Looks great! Chrome / silver sliders if even possible would look sick with it! 😂

[@Nicko_92]

That bar looks mint mate nice work 👍

[@MntlMajorkozmo]

I had a similar bar on my GQ a couple years back. Bent it after hitting a rock at Yalwal. Thinking i might do the same thing if i get another GQ.

[@MicahBell_1860]

I bought a very similar alloy bar for my 80 Series to replace the "factory" Bocar bar. It has a hole for a winch but no cradle. I was thinking of cutting the hoops off too. I saw what you saw & it looks good to me I was going to say, you don't want to polish that inside. Especially with the car also in there

[@TheDommoss]

Man this thing is looking awesome

[@Danielinthewild]

Looks mint man! So clean and tidy 🔥

[@mickfbr]

Honestly I wouldn't have had the vision to buy that thing and try this but dang man, looks the goods for sure 👌

[@benmcelligott2006]

Thing looks tuff asf can’t wait to see it out and about 🤙🏼

[@Spiach]

looking better every vid mate good stuff

[@fordmartin1991]

like it. take it to a truckshop and ask them if they can polish it more. so you get it realy shiney

[@arnaudceballos6313]

Looks awesome mate ! I threw mine a year ago and now I regret !!

[@timmyanderson1576]

I would have chosen the josco bar type polish also (blue for alloy) do with sisal wheel then onot the stitched calico to finish. a lot cleaner and very effective

[@seaforb13]

We use a bar of sunlight soap and the orbital sander to clean

[@danielegan1785]

Looking mint, giving me some inspiration

[@SimranjeetSingh-zr5mt]

This looks so mint 🙌🏻

[@detectivemarvel8036]

Looks effn sick my man 👍🏽

[@kenanschoon8585]

Looks mint bro 🤌🏻

[@chucknorris2938]

Looks good mate, I reckon she’d look even better if it matched the polish of the grill 👍💯

[@nathantait]

Looks sick

[@Keegan-111]

maybe just add a small front hoop where you can fit some spotties or a small light bar. Looks good mate!

[@leviwilkinson1924]

Great video! Keep it up!!

[@Tb48life]

That looks absolute sick house 👌🏻💪🤣

[@ChrisDADLUX]

Honestly looks good as but I think getting it properly chrome dipped would look perfect to match the front

[@Morphic-Realms.]

came up a treat with all that polish work bro, the only thing I would say, only because you asked is to me the chrome grill and the alloy look slightly off due to the different finish on both. otherwise send it however you see fit mate... in'lakech

[@kiixtemu]

Looks awesome!

[@joshalaban96]

Looks mint mate watch all the alloy bullbars get sold up because of this vid 😂

[@iyuhb]

I've got the same ugly tjm bar on my gq, i really like the original bumper style but not for $500!. Definetly gonna try this. its gonna get scratched on the tracks so I'm not worried with the weld marks etc!

[@The_zook_shed]

For $100 that's a win 🏆

[@gamingg67]

Funking looks good Kate

[@kizzamate]

Hey mate you should do a video on making custom flares or something as of that tyre poke the boys in blue won’t be happy

[@JakeandHisLux]

Could a MattyFlex OutBack Bandits custom Grille be on the cards? Would look sick with a chrome and black custom grille that says RonBurgondy or something to do with the GQ build👌🏻👌🏻 Builds going great tho mate good work 🤙🏻

[@bryanchalloy7217]

Lookin good 🤙🤙🤙

[@keilfestin4606]

When are you doing the engine are you going full forged td42

[@Nicko_92]

TD45 stroker

[@chopparead454]

Pretty sure he’s said that this is a budget build so I doubt it for now but could happen in the future

[@WillLowther]

@@chopparead454I don’t think this is a budget build bro

[@tomnayler7324]

I like it think if you can get a winch behind it it will be awesome for a budget build

[@vincem5]

get it pro polished to a chrome like finish. it will match the grill better.

[@BigAussieBoy]

bar looks good as👌have you still got the hoops

[@nickhardinge1142]

Can comfirm you can hit a decent sized roo with this done mine a while ago love it and it’s held up fine

[@r4rekt671]

Hey mate, love the look! Shes clean. Hey i got a question....you have a fmic but also the 79 scoop. How do you find running it like that? Ive heard having a scoop when running a fmic can cause issues with airflow in the engine bay. Cheers

[@jacksonfyfe1309]

Kinda Like someone already said a small single hoop maybe with 4 or so spotties/mini light bars inside would look mint.

[@joesarrieto8434]

Do you have any sort of extraction system for the dust that comes off that sander?

[@kurthaggarty2360]

Please do staino bonnet entry 🙂

[@TOCQ796]

Get Some beeswax for grinding down ally quicker man put it on flap disks make grinding a dream!

[@peterdonlon6505]

Looks mint against the chrome grill and wheels. More polishing before you clear coat it though. Needs to be closer to the shine of the grill👍

[@joelschneeberger1367]

Is black duck valley open?? I thought they closed down years ago

[@Punchypax]

It’s somewhere between perfect and shithouse 😂😂😂 classic

[@jomojomo123]

Looks great mate but keep going on the polish full mirror! Why aren't you sponsored by kinchrome yet? You've got enough subscribers... Reach out and get some tools so you can have a proper polisher 😁

[@Ben-nt7fx]

Can you split window tint like TJs 79 series

[@martyferry2678]

Looks better then hoops

[@ldjl3322]

Can you make another one for the back?

[@Onsonggarage]

Looks mint. Don't clear coat alloy it will never last and turn to shit. Ppf it instead also if you use a rotary sander and variable speed polisher with a cut bar and finish bar you'll get your mirror finish alloys alot harder to work with then paint to polish. Still come up unreal tho 🤙

[@tomjom4865]

the fenders not lining up with bonet is gettin to me not gonna lie

[@xXThedarkhazeXx]

chrome the rock sliders

[@joesarrieto8434]

Gotta match up the chromes so they’re the same if you can

[@cheekohanratty3271]

I’m 3 mins in and all I can think is how do you not have a reciprocating saw???

[@Wickham09]

Looks like a GQ should!

[@cruzepaterson9259]

visor and snorkel

[@juddy3602]

It's probably better off just polishing the bullbar as it was at least then you have something to protect your front from any wild animal strikes

[@SHOCKcustoms]

Minticle

[@Chasing_Midnights]

I’ll donate a nice visor for the budget build cause. Originally brought it for my mk swb / gq swb Frankenstein build but it won’t work with my snorkel and I can’t bring myself to cut it up

[@RoamLyfe]

Ah shit!! I’ll buy it off you mate? Where are you located?

[@Chasing_Midnights]

@@RoamLyfe I sent a message through on instagram, I can’t send any photos through till you accept tho

[@RoamLyfe]

I can’t see the request, try sending something again or send your @

[@astol87]

I think it needs to match the chrome of the grille, it looks ok but will look shmicko if they're the same chrome

[@nonsequitur807]

Are you not concerned with gear ratios now that youve moved up to 35" tires. I thought you would've regeared when you e-locked the diffs

[@JFWGarage]

I fuck with it mate, going to be the sexy GQ in Aus

[@ianweal3081]

I'm alone here, but the lower cross bar had to go, but I'd kept the uprights and hoops, that would have looked great, just my opinion though. Would have been a lot more work though, 😂.

[@jarredsvlogs9185]

U need cover car man if gonna cut things round it you’ll wreak paint

[@lewisflynn7018]

A lot of work to go through for a piece of C channel

[@bennyjahmin3953]

Ditch the flappy disks and get some backing pads and sanding disks. Then a block of wax for lube. Flappy disks are way to expensive and 'scallop' out your base material too easy

[@aaronhogan2371]

Zero structural strength remaining. The first tap and it will be mangled and bend your guards. Could have left the lower pipework on.

[@jessetink3753]

Looks sick as aids mate Especially with them tyres 👍🏽

[@alexpoulos4120]

Looks sik

[@leightonB69]

Ron sexy burgundy

[@FlynnMunyard]

tuuuufffffffffffff
