the new roll bar

bradrhale · 08-09-2009, 07:40 AM

after months of sitting there on the shop floor, i decided that it was about time to get this baby in. please ignore the small tiny tire that i have mounted up temporarily. the deal fell through on the alloy so i am still stuck with this stupid spare that looks more like a donut compared to what i am currently running. these wheels are evidently sought after around here cause i cant seem to find one.
the bar that the tire is mounted to does swing out over the bed to gain access underneath the bar, and do have both francis antennas mounted on either side. really dont know if you can see them but they are there. still need to hook up all the CB stuff and have given consideration to mounting my PA to the top bar. in due time, i do intend to mount 2 lights like the kind camino had referred to in an earlier posts.
i want to give a special thanks to camino for the light idea and one to 75 for helping me with paint options. thanks to everyone else that had something to add to my project. i will also like to give a special thanks to whoever sends me a dodge alloy to match those on my truck.

hint, hint.

again, what does this special thank you consist of...... there is a truck parked a few houses down..... if there was a case of good beer,(you know, utah has very low alchohol content) then a midnight auto raid may be in call
