i just bought my self a roll bar today for 20. it needs some work ill get some pics of it tommorrow when i start to work on it. im not sure if i want to keep it the crazy metallic purple or paint it black. i think if i kept it the purple my truck would stand out better. what do you guys think

 

Well we need pictures.

 

I think if you kept it purple, everyone would call you Barney. But seriously, it is all up to you. What year is your truck? 2wd? 4wd? Engine? Lifted? Lowered? Color? Mods?

We need a better understanding of what you're working with brotha.

 

okay as of right now i got a green 4x4 2000 ranger super cab. the color purple reminds me of the color that james duff used to use for there bumpers. my truck is straight stock when it comes to the engine, tires, and suspension. im currently working on getting some 33 12.50 15 baja claws. and im going to do a t-bar crank and a bodly lift soon too,

 

We need more info brother man...

 

Well, I could see if you had/have plans for like, custom bumpers or trim or even body graphics that was colormatched purple to the rollbar....BUT...honestly, you'll look like Barney on 4 wheels. Paint that biatch black, lift it, 33" it....then think about going James Duff 'style wise with purple....catch my drift?

Thats just what I'd do, but hey, your truck.

 

I didnt see a picture in there.

Here is how you post picures.

okay here is one of my truck


here is the roll bar

 

Definitely paint it, no questions asked! What is the roll bar out of? Looks like it will need some work to make it fit in your bed.

 

the guy i got it from said out a ranger it fits in there good i just want to get it painted and all that good stuff before it goes in. do you guys know what those two mounts are on the top are for. i thought maybe a light bar

 

Paint it. No questions asked. That just would look ridiculous on a green truck.

And those look like mounts for a light bar, like you said.

 

looks like i got myself a project for tommorrow. im going to try and get it all finished tommorrow and in the truck.

 

yeah, please paint it and put it up out of sight for the night until it is non purple tomorrow. j/k

but seriously paint it haha

 

thats worse than my PVC

 

paint it.
sell it.
look at the angle of the rear supports: when mounted, they would have nothing to attach to.

 

when i stick it in the bed the would mount to part of the wheel well that is closest to the cab.

 

that looks like its from a jeep

 

ok i got it all sanded down and painted it. ill post some pics in a minute when they are done uploading. i also decide to take a pic of my work area and my truck.

 

pics
all sanded down




my truck


after i still have one more coat to go




my garage

 

Much better. I would have gone black though.

Mounting lights on it?

 

eventually i will be mounting lights but not at the moment i dont have the money for them. i used rustoleum black texturized it some different colors it in but im happy with the result i just am waiting for it to dry so i can get the second coat on it.

 

Get some pictures of it mocked up in the bed.

 

x2

 

here are the pics of it in the bed i still need to bolt it down. i want to find some steel and make 2 plates for the front so that the bolts dont want to rip throught the bed if anything happens.

 

Looks good! I want to get one, but cant get one shipped over here(fgermany), so i have to wait till i get back to the states...
