im exactly 100mi from baltimore, so add on however far away you are. it breaks into 5 pieces so i "could" be shipped for a lot of money, i took it apart all the bolts were rusted and brushed one piece down to metal. 4 more to go. then ill prime it and paint it. i could cut a few inches off to make it smaller and a few to shorten up the arms a bit and add some spacers, but im not sure if i want to undertake such fabrication because if i **** it up i cant resell it lol.

thats the shape i would prefer. arms just slanting down rather then out and down, oh and my bed is 65.5" wide. most bars are pretty universal, it came off a 77 short bed chevy so it should fit most full size short beds

ya I like the shape of mine. And it's a perfect fit for the wheeler too so I'm happy there.... I just got lucky with finding mine, a buddy actually found it from some old guy he knows, 50 bucks later and it's on its way home with me

its pitted bad along the top bar and on the front of the kicker bars, where rain and **** has been hitting it for god knows how many years lol.... I got some wicked chrome polish from the old man, and some steel wool or SOS pads should help it I hope. Just gotta get the ambition to do it, I gotta take it back off (again) to wire up the other lights I have for it so I'll prolly do it then...

I think thats more of a light bar instead of a roll bar, structurally speaking

I think it looks good myself. If it followed the line of the back window better and you color matched it to your truck it would look sweet.

looks sick man, just outta curiousity do you have the dodge bedliner ?

might explain why it looks that way if it's not bolted down, you gotta cut the slots in the bedliner to level it out.

iv been wanting one of those for awhile now and im still looking, but the places i work i need to drop my cover over the bed to hide my tools and supplys otherwise people get sticky hands.

yea i have the dodge bedliner, and it is cut out (PO had a roll bar), but it doesnt fit in the holes, different mounting plates. im am gonna hack it a bit to make it a little shorter and put some spacers in to make it level and see how it looks. i was thinking about doing it silver too i think that might look sweet, but my truck is black and silver so either would look pretty good, and if i wan to resell it i should go with black
