Anyone fitted an sp 4x4 half bulkhead removal bar?
Thinking about reducing my bulkhead down a bit, not a full removal as my sub is mounted to the lower part and I find it useful when piling stuff in the back. I just need a touch more leg room so it feels a little less like I'm sitting on a toilet when driving.

I much prefer the look of the sp 4x4 one I found with the square corners rather than the big u shaped one. Has anyone on here fitted one or can recommend it?

I fitted the Mudstuff one.
Easy enough to do - just awkward working on your news in a relatively cramped space.
I used a combination of a reciprocating saw ( like wrestling with a wild woman) & a jigsaw.
A compressed air rivet gun is extremely useful especially when working in the corners.

Think mine was from Paddocks but with rounded "corners". Managed OK but you need to keep checking that the trim, which hides the cut edge, as you go along to get it right. Some good Hoe to vids on line also. Think there is a photo in my gallery. Jeff

Thanks for the replies, I've found quite a bit of info on the rounded corner ones like you have fitted but nothing on the less common squared off one. There must be someone on here who has one. Whistle

Not sure what difference you think there is between a rounded one & a square one.
Fitting technique will be the same - remove metal & pop rivet in place.
Measure twice before cutting once.

I would imagine the radius cut outs are stronger.
