AKIRA Posted September 5, 2003 Share Posted September 5, 2003 has anybody ever thought of making some of the factory-stye rollbars like those guys did with the steelydel brushguard? I have always wanted a high roof rollbar, but I have never found one for sale. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ShawnW Posted September 5, 2003 Share Posted September 5, 2003 And if my parents buy the bender for their shop here soon I will probably try making a few of them. Not sure I am ready for the liability stuff though or the guilt when somebody rolls their brat and the rollbar isnt enough to keep them from being smooshed. Then again I would be ready for the kudos when it saves their hide so I guess I will just have to take my chances and put a use at your own risk type of statement on them. I won't be messing around, as in, they wont be cheap to ship cuz they will be REAL metal. Shawn Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ShawnW Posted September 5, 2003 Share Posted September 5, 2003 Id also like to see Mudrat make some rollbars since he is starting up a business doing that sort of thing right now. Personally I dont try to compete with him, hes great with a welder and I just do it on the side with a guy at the folks shop. I do all the cutting, etc and have the guy weld what I want up. I am learning to weld as I go. I make the "SteelyDel" guards but they aren't really competition with Mudrat in my opinion. The guards I make are more of a duplicate of the factory guard, enhanced a little here and there. Mudrat historically has made stuff that is meant for mud, rocks, trees, etc and is a lot tougher than a SteelyDel guard but also a lot heavier and not quite as stock looking. The SteelyDel tends to look like it rolled off the dealer lot with it on there and they are great for a street/highway use vehicle. They have proven themselves against the deer too. Needed repaired afterwards but saved some damage on the car. Merely my opinion. I am just glad we have the talents we have on this board. Otherwise we would be running around in a bunch of vehicles that look exactly the same and have no custom anything. That would be kindof like what was going on when the board started. A lift kit was an overseas thing and a brushguard was a "find one in the junkyard" thing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
baccaruda Posted September 5, 2003 Share Posted September 5, 2003 i've heard that some blazer rollbars fit inside EA82 wagons. Haven't investigated though. don't know how well it would tie in with the chassis either? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
