i forgot to post these pics of when i cut 4 inches off of the roll bar.
i installed the roll bar and bedliner yesterday.
first i cut the bases down to 2 inches and cut 4 pieces of 2 3/4 pipe to go inside them.
then i drilled through the bases/pipe and bolted them together, after that i bolted the bases to the bed and test fit the roll bar.
i then removed the roll bar and set the bedliner in on top of the bases. instead of trying to measure where the holes go i simply used a hammer and pounded around the 2 3/4 pipe intil i cut through the bedliner.
here is the bedliner with the roll bar on.
and here is the truck with the bedliner bolted in and the snorkel extension on.
