Lowly Posted July 19, 2014 Share Posted July 19, 2014 So couldn't find a topic on this. Thought I would start one. Since the factory roll bars are so hard to get my hands on. I thought about making some of my own. I wanted a little advice on maybe the best design and if I should have the mounting before the wheel wells on top of the wheel wells or after the wheel wells seen trucks with all three and wanted to know where the best placement might be. Love to see any pictures of custom roll bars for the comanche or any advice on this project. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lowly Posted July 19, 2014 Author Share Posted July 19, 2014 Few pics I am thinking of doing. After the wheel wells On the wheel wells Or before the wheel wells. Also was wondering about either going double or single hoop all the the above are single. This is a double. Maybe a double hoop on the wheel wells since I have holes there from the last set of roll bars. Was thinking this for the best. Also was thinking about going with 2 and 1/2 inch piping though I think most of these pictures the piping is 3 inches Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Incommando Posted July 19, 2014 Share Posted July 19, 2014 I am not a fan the double myself. The first gen Dakota bar looks good in an MJ. For a bar to have an serious strength it would need to mount to the frame and not to sheet metal IMHO Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jacob Ochs Posted July 20, 2014 Share Posted July 20, 2014 Before: After: These were bars from a 98 ford ranger that I picked up off Craigslist for 60$, I modified them to be wider and to go straight into the wheel wells then I painted them with bed liner! I just installed a light bar on them today! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lowly Posted July 20, 2014 Author Share Posted July 20, 2014 I suppose since I am doing my own roll bars I will have to make my own tie in brackets as well. I know I have seen like a helpful picture thread and there were some good shots of tie in brackets on it. Can't find that thread anymore. Had tons of helpful pictures in it. If someone can find it and link that be great. Any ideas on how to make tie in brackets or any place that sells these brackets that fit the comanche?

Pinned in the DIY section, page 4 of the post has the brackets picture. http://comancheclub.com/topic/19732-random-informative-picture-thread/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Incommando Posted July 21, 2014 Share Posted July 21, 2014 Barnes4x4 & Ruffstuff both offer decent pre-fabbed mounts you can use as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
manche_mane Posted July 21, 2014 Share Posted July 21, 2014 I think the bars that connect to the wheel well are ok but more cosmetic. if I made my own, I would want them to connect to the floor and bolt or weld onto the frame Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
