That doesn't appear to be a rodney-mail-order piece, that looks like a genuine save-your-skull custom fabricated roll bar. Prices vary - if you know a really good welder with a bender, buy him beer and negotiate. Print out that pic and take it to him, wait till he's had a few, then start talking like "Wow, that's good work, not many welders can do work like that...."
You get the idea.

I like the snorkel - that's to keep rattlesnakes out of the intake, right?

I agree on the custom thing. Most off the shelf rollbars come in 3" .090 or .120 wall tube. That appears to be 2" and probably thicker wall.

That is very sharp looking.
It would be a toss up for me if I had a truck.

Canback or a bar like that.
Could have both, but the bar would have to be lower.

You could even hang some decorations on it such as:
Power Tank
Shovel
Hi-Lift

My friend told me that the Bronco off of the trucks show on TV. (i forget the name the project, it was like "crazy horse" or sumthin) Well neways, he said the roll bar they had made for it was made out of painted PVC and it actually looked pretty good. I was thinking about making one using PVC (im the ultimate ricer!) and design the same design as above. Do you think this is an ok idea? Do you think it would be strong enough to mount lights? Give me ideas

pvc pipe for a snorkel would be cool but for a roll bar? I priced tubing from a place called aed motorsports in indiana. There selling chrommoly tubing cheaper than mild steel. So if your building somthing using tubing u might as well go the chrommoly route a buy a tig welder.

Where are you at in Alabama? I saw that episode of Trucks when he bought the Bronco and it had a PVC roll bar. Not cool.
