SubaXtreme Rear Bar and carriers

Nice thats awesome looks sweet

Since you use the Triton now Kevin, maybe you can off load your rear bumper/spare wheel and jerry holder? (In my direction?).

:lol: not likely....well at least not yet!

The price that they go for you may be better off going to a 4wd fabricator and getting one made up instead

^ Exactly! At $4500 your dreaming mate. Buy 3 SF's for that lol
Ive picked up 2 second hand before but then sold them on to mates. They go for about a grand 2nd hand.
Im actually after one too for my new to me Foz GT. They are an awesome bit of kit but even off the shelf HD suspension isnt upto the task of support the weight in the rear. Bending struts/strut tower mounts and sagging springs is common when having a full load plus one of these bars.

Whats a good suspension upgrade to work with the wheel carrier mate?

With the same set up as Kevin I have stronger Kings and normal struts, ie not SLS, on the rear.
I have had some slight cracking along the left rear wheel inner arch which I have repaired and modified the rear RH well arch so as to prevent cracking in this area. This can be, and probably is, caused by the gross overloading required for such expeditions as the Simpson crossing and Cape York, such as extra fuel, water, fridge, second tyre and rim and second battery along with usually one passenger and necessary food, clothing and spare parts and tools. I have also installed a rear wheel strut tower brace to keep the rear struts in as near to vertical position as is possible.
The whole lot works well.
