Does anybody have any detailed designs for something like this. If you give me a halfway decent sketch and measurements, Ill draw it up on CAD.

I am interested if the price is right! I was going to make my own out of square tubing but I can only get it in 24ft lengths. Since I really have no place to put a piece that large and dont want the extra hanging around I have been holding off on the project. Shoot me a price.

These are my homebrewed. I am going to modify them them to tie into the leaf spring mount. When my Cherokee grows up I will add some bent tube like Adam's.

Alright a few more pics. Not the best but I've been rushed really bad the past few days to get some good poser pics with them. Maybe this week at Haspin I can get some good shots of them in action!

I used a Plasti-Coat etching primer followed by 4 coats of Rustoliem textured semi-flat paint. It gives it a "rubicon" finish, and matches my bedlined rockers really nice.



Few shots of the pass side finally mounted.









And a pic of how they mount. (yes I am still missing a center bolt, I dropped it and lost it....)

They are similar, but not quite the same. I actually somewhat mocked them off of thiers as I liked the look.

They only have 2 bars coming out for the side bars, I have 3. Decided on 3 simply for the fact I know I'd be coming down on the side bars a lot for how I wheel. The biggest difference is the pinch seam connections. I wasn't happy with thiers as I dont' feel it really offers any extra strength as thiers is just a welded peice of flat stock. I used "L" channel and than used more "L" channel off of the main bar for the extra strength.

If you compair mine:



To there's:



You'll notice that thier's is only connected to the main part at the pinch seam 2 times, where mine is 7 (5 "L's" and at the main support).

I think my side bars might be a little bit larger diamater metal as well.
