Prices start at $400.00 and this has been designed as a bolt together so that it can be installed by the do it yourselfer in only a couple of hours.

Holly cow!

Well I guess it was just a matter of time. So how does it "bolt on" to the frame? I'm sure people would be interested in a little bit more info.

You had to paint it yellow didn't you? Now Rick is going to have to buy one.

While you are posting, why don't you contact Coolerman about the CIBS kit he sent you?

Have you tested this with tall drivers? Looks like I'd be smacking my head in that bar.

Edit: Uhhhh nevermind. My eyes'R playing tricks on me.

The bar is actually behind your head so it won't conk you if you hit a big bump

The bar behind the back seat is also far enough back that rear passengers will not have any problem hitting their heads on it. I do plan to add padding to mine on the spreaders hat run from the front bar to the back bar so if I ever get T-boned nobody in the back seat gets brained by it

How does just the hoop behind the drivers seat support it'self if you don't get the rear bars? Are there two bars at the bottom to keep it from bending at the attachment point?

Got any weights for these things?

This one mounts straight to the body through holes drilled right next to the body to frame mount and has a reinforcing plate on both the top and bottom of the floor to ensure it is rigid enough to handle a rollover. As for the color I love solar yellow but if you choose to buy one you can get it in just plain black, primed or powder coated to match you vehicle. One of the guys I work with is getting it installed in a shock blue 2002 SC Xterra...very cool.

I will call the shop and see if I can get weights and the specs for the tubing for you. No one has ordered the single front hoop yet as far as I know (kinda all or nothing like me) but I believe the mount itself as beefy as it is in combination with the grab rail bar at the bottom of the seats it will prevent the bars from bending in if you flop the truck over.

so where did you get the seats from and did you have to make custom brackets to fit them in there?

Also, can you get some pics of where it mounts and bolts in?

Schludwiller · 11-04-2002, 08:01 PM

I'm not worried about them bending in, but forward or back if you just get the bar behind the front seats. I'm with Synchro, pictures of the mounts would be appreciated.

Synchro · 11-05-2002, 12:43 AM

also I wonder if you can get the roll cage without their logo all over it. yikes, it would be staring you in the rear view mirror every time you looked.

Also, I don't necessarily want those seats in particular as I don't think they would fit my body well, but I am interested in getting new seats in my x at some point and if someone makes ones that fit in correctly, I would atleast like to investigate. So whatever information you can provide is appreciated.

Thanks!
