if i remember correctly by the time all said and done... - his was 1100, mine was 400 cash. so im sure that down in the states you can get it cheaper.
mine is made from exhaust tubing not steel.
mine is rockguarded, this is polished steel.

Did you make your's yourself or did you order it somewhere?

Sinister,
You have a link for that headache rack/bedrail combo? I've been looking for something similar to that. Wish it had some minor triangular braces though, looks like it could be a little flimsy with lights and body flex. No problems with it hitting the cab?

mayfair- I helped to build it.. I went to the muffler shop and talked with my buddy.. we worked for two days, as planning the angles right was priority.- attaching was secondary.
once finished- all we had to do was slip in the lock nuts and its on solid.. holds enough climbing over the wheel without any flex.-
we discussed 300.. i gave a tip.
swirvin21- i really need to do a new photoshoot..
I'll plan one tomorrow if im lucky.- for all the angles.
the link to that one.. just search Red Demon at ford truck world.
so far its only a two of a kind.. and i believe neither of us kept the blueprints.. i know it isnt 90.

another reason i need a new photoshoot., bad angles reflect the scratches on the camera.
as for hitting the cab.. no. its pretty stiff., i've got two backuplights installed cleanly, with a spare wire for another set anytime I want.-

The two on there are welded to a muffler clamp, and can easily be flipped for either forward or backward, with enough wire to compensate.
what do you mean by the trianlgular. are you talking the anglebars or along the window side?

That is a great bar Sinister! I'm surprised it's as stiff being exhaust tubing. If you get a chance, you ought to notch the upper bar for your 3rd taillamp. Any pics you could send would be appreciated. I'll have to figure out what to do with my truck box since it goes over the rails. I was planning to get rid of it eventually anyways. I'll just throw it on the trailer.
I was talking about the triangular supports they run on roll bars between the vertical and horizontal bars for strength. Thinking about it now, I'm not sure it would look better, but you could actually use it as a roll cage if done right. I'm going to look into getting one done here in Dallas, probably not for $300 though
Is that 2" or 2 1/4" tubing?
Thanks,
Kyle

why would i put a notch in for the 3rd brake lamp.. its not needed, and there's enough of it showing to still be seen. if anythign i'd rather have it fully covered.
as for the thickness, only 1 1/2" - same as my front pushbar - VERY lightweight - but strong.
