RollBar Question

I found a company to make a rollbar. I don't really want anything more that a 4 point bar similar to the SmittyBilt bars that are no longer available. Does anyone have plans, dimensions, etc... that they used or any suggestions. I'm about to get back to work and I'd like the have all of the fitting done before paint. Thanks.

You can still find the SmittyBilt bars at some shops (left over stock.)

SW sells them cheap if you have some one to weld them up for you.

On the S & W website they only list an 8 point cage. I was really looking for a simple 4-point. I'm going to check on getting one made like is on the blazer below, but without the front bar and able to fit under a soft-top & hard-top. I don't know whose blazer this is, but I like the roll bar.

for the price of an sw cage you can alway leave off what you dont use and add it later if you change your mind.

I just purchased one. When I get it installed, I'll post pictures of the nitty gritty details! It won't be here until next week and I see installing it in a few weeks.

Thanks Earl, but I-95 is a bit far. I saw your post on the parts board, but that is the wrong side of N.C. for me. I've been to ECU while I was coaching football. I'll be waiting for the nitty gritty from bluegoose, my first plan on finding a welder didn't work out and I'm thinking it would be easier and cheaper to buy a pre-made one. Has anybody ever delt with sterling Manufacturing out of Florida? a 4x4 store suggested trying them.

So you have a 10 point cage? That's what I'm thinking about, but I may start with an 8 point, and add later. It fits under the hard top with no problems?

That's why I'm thinking about going with the 8 point. I'll use my race care fab s'purience, to figure out forward from there, and I got a muffler guy in town who can do the bending for me. Thanks.

Roll Bar

I Agree With Eddie.....buy A S&w Racing Cage And Keep The Extra Bars.....you Might Want Them. You Can't Beat Their Prices And The Quality Is Good. S/h Is Quick. I Bought A S&w 10 Pt. Cage And Added Another 10 Pts. And It Is Awesome . You Never Know When Those Extra Bars Will Come In Handy Saving Your Head.
