Naw... they will be painted black. Once everything is completely attached (welded) then the whole truck will have to be papered and taped then bars will be painted.

This is not a kit. Each bar was measured and bent to fit perfectly.

John it looks great

Looks like you copied my roll bar, I am sure you will be happy with it.

By the way take a picture of how it goes through the floor of the cab.

This is what we did on mine

Don, looks real familiar. Actually I grabbed several different examples from the Web of roll cages. Your's was one of them. Matter of fact mine has the square plate, like your's, welded in the same place. Keep in mind though I had no idea it was done that way. My installer came up with that. He does this kind of stuff for a living.

Gary attached my bars to the frame a little differently. Some of the pictures we saw he didn't like.

My swing out bars are bent to fit around the door. Really neat.

Will you be coming out to Houston for FFW this year. April 30th, May 1st & May 2nd.?

jarmstro, looks good!
Hey how tall are you?
My roll cage that we are installing now has to be moved forward so we can rais it higher. I am 5' 11" tall and with my helmit I wasn't getting the 3" of clearance required by NMRA.


Peace, Suavy

I'm 5'7" so will not have a problem.

Would it not be easier to replace your seats?
