    Hi all could anyone help? I would like to make a steel rear bar for my 90. Has anyone got any ideas of plains that they could share?

    I don't think any one has plans they can give you.

    A few pp members have had a crack at fabricating their own rear bar.

    There are a few manufacturers of rear bars for 90 series prados (wasp4x4 is one of them) but they are very expensive (+$2000)

        That has a nice finish. I'd like to fit a bar like that eventually. I'm not interested in a dual wheel carrier but a steel bumper that can stand up to the abuse I put mine through would be good.

                Wasp also do an imported one, with no wheel carriers on it, and it is only $850, however I don't know what the quality and strength is like

                  Can you link us with some more information? I briefly checked their website and only found details for the dual wheel carrier model.

                  At $850 its cheaper than a new Gen Toyota plastic bumper and would surely be stronger.
