All i can tell you is be carefull. I ordered mine from truckaddons.com about 3 or 4 months ago and it still hasnt come in..the manufacturer makes them per order so they said that it can take anywheres fron 8-10 weeks for dilevery...They are pretty pricey too.. heres a link to the site i bought mine from...

anytime bro...Im sure mine is being built or on the way.. Truckaddons has really good customer service.. they have been in business for 30 years i do believe, so im not too worried about mine not coming in yet.. i got the wildcat flash single/single black...

I had a grizzly roll bar back when I had a '91 ranger, and I liked it...it had dual bars going up and across and two metal light tabs (for easy light or bar mounting)...my only complaint is that the bars going to the rear were a little too short for my long bed

either way, I'd say the best way to buy them is to search craigslist for a used one

I got mine for $100, and I have seen them for as low as $25

the other thing you can do is reconsider...roll bars were only really popular on 80's/early 90's pickups on anything that was of the "box shape"

Mine is from company called grizzly but I bought it like 5 1/2 years ago, so I don't know if they are still around.

mine is also a grizzly. however, grizzly is no longer around.

you might want to check out your local truck accessory dealership. if you want it, they usually can find it!

how long ago did you find it? was it within the last 2 years?

if so, I think I saw that on craigslist before for that price...and I'm glad someone from here picked it up!
