Roll bar finally done

Took me a few months with a few days here and there measuring, cutting and welding. Wiring the lights was fun too as I wanted the outside to be on switch and the two middle lights to be on a seperate switch.

Painted the light housings black. Spraid the roll bar with bed cover several times.

For those who didn't see my previous post, it started as a Ram roll bar.
Had to take several inches out the middle and also had to cut the rear legs off and extend them.

IF I were to redue it again I would have redone the angle on the rear legs and taken it back even further.

Feel free to leave comments. Negative "OK" too

I added a touch screen that allows 3 things to be powered. Mounted just about flush to place I mounted it. Very nice vs the usualy toggle switch.

pics:











and those are stock rims with 35" tires if you were wondering.
Thanks for looking.

Thanks, like I mentioned, I took a Ram one and cut to fit it in my rig .
That should open up your "what to look for".

I try!! I upgraded welder to a lincoln and really like it. It's still not big enouph though for some of the projects I have done.

I'm been reading up on getting a Stick welder and converting it over to a TIG. I'd like to get into tig welding for the smoother nad nicer welds.

My lincoln does a decent job for what it is. I really need to put some cash aside and upgrade to a nicer one. Only having 4 head settins sucks .

I need more control and better duty cycle.

Thanks!!

I'll try to get some pics if I remember over the weekend. Cant make promises though. So much going on with projects.

I'm currently cutting up a large metal cabinet to use the steel to replace my rockers on both sides.


Also picked up a 4" cowl hood off a mustang that I plan to work into my F150 hood.
