View Full Version : TL Rear bar on a TH?
Will it fit?
I was looking at mitches rear bar today around lunch time and thought mine would look excellent if I was to fit one like it - Since I already need a respray I'm thinking of a whole new bar.

should fit i would think - prolly need the TL rear Reo. to make it fit up, but that shouldnt be too hard i dont think.
i dont think the physical dimensions of the boot opening / tail lights changed toooo much (if any) between TH and TL.
might require TL tail lights maybe to finish it off? but that would also require TL boot lid i think..
someone will correct me if im wrong :)

Ultimate plan is go go tj+ lights and boot lid, but I need to get all the body bits before the respray (car is in desprite need of one).
Maybe TL VRX rear bar with TJ VRX body kit?

as far as i know (which aint far! lol)
if you want to upgrade to TJ tails on a pre TJ, you need the TJ bootlid as it wont line up perfectly otherwise - so i think those two go hand in hand.
should prolly look pretty good - TL VRX rear bar with TJ VRX body kit. :)

You need a TL bootlid. Your current lights will fit, but, there wont sit 100% flush.
If you going for a VRX rear end, dont expect anychange out of about $1000 to do the job correctly

Ouch. Maybe I should drop the TL VRX idea for now then. Random crazy 2.30am thoughts :)

personally i preferred the TL boot lid over the TJ boot lid - its much more flowing.
and 2.30 is a great time for ideas - just dont start working on them at that time of the morning though!!!

I was looking at doing it to my TJ, and the cost turned me away.
Either you can get lucky, and pick one up from a wrecker, but, thats pretty rare. Not many TL VRXs go through Sydney wreckers. If its a different colour, then you need to get it painted.
Theres one bloke on ebay selling bodykits, he had a TL vrx rearbar awhile ago for under $500. I beleive he gets them quite often. Problem with this is that it needs to be painted etc etc
Bootlid is easier to find. Im sure there a plenty of white, TL bootlids from the wrecker.
You could probably do a normal TL rear end alot cheaper, than a VRX one.
Interesting thing to note, is the TL VRX rear bar is a single piece, unlike the TJs, where the VRX lip is an addon
