i got the roll bar from WNY964x4 today, its not bolted down and is sitting on top of the bedliner.

the roll bar seems really tall to me. i might shorten the posts sometime, but for now its getting bolted on as is.

i think the difference is because of the bed liner , mine did not have one when i took the pic , if you put it below thw bwdliner it will look shorter , and it could be because of your body mounts also

DRIFTGOD187 · 06-23-2009, 03:25 PM

i took the bedliner out and it is still taller than it should be, but i already knew that by looking at your pics so its no big deal.

it was nice meeting you and we should get together sometime to go play in the mud when i get tires like yours lol

thanks again for the roll bar, i will get it where i want it eventually

**WNY964x4** · 06-23-2009, 03:44 PM

just remember before you cut it down height wise to take into account that your cab is sitting a little lower

i cut 4 inches off the 4 posts and it looks alot beter, i took the bedliner out and set it in:

the sides touch the bed so i will just keep a inch on the bases when i weld it back together.

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.

Looks good. Nice idea on the bedliner over the rollbar mounts. Makes it look clean.

DRIFTGOD187 · 06-27-2009, 02:13 PM

thank you

i bolted the rear mounts to the roll bar and painted them flat black, i will do the same in the front when i get a beter drill.

i also added a ranger logo to the tailgate, i saw somebody else do it and thought it looked good.

**WNY964x4** · 06-27-2009, 04:26 PM

I like the ranger badge on the tailgate, looks like it is supposed to be there, On my truck it just had the stickers and when they repainted it they dind't put new ones on so I put a 4x4 badge off a Jeep cherokee where you put the Ranger badge. Keep up the good work man.
