If it is, they cut off the feet from a long bed model just to make it fit. Shame on them if it is.

Looks close. Go for it buddy

[strictlyxjs]

I don't need it I figured someone might try to see if the guy would split it up

[Salvagedcircuit]

Thanks for the update. I'm in the process of purchasing it now

@strictlyxjs You sir are the man. . I owe you big time

 

I picked up the roll bar today. It has been safely rescued from the bowls of a very broken nissan pickup.

@eaglescout526 you were spot on! It was a long bed roll bar with the ends chopped off. It was barely held into the nissan bed. There was only one bolt on each member, which made removal a breeze. It looks like there's ~2in missing from the angled ends, but nothing that can't be fixed. It's an OEM rollbar for sure. The lights were generic boxes, not the KC lights, but for $100 smackaroos, it was the score of the century.

To be fair, the owner of the nissan pickup was super nice and said he never understood why the rollbar was even there. The previous owner bolted it into the bed.

Lol. So I’m fairness it was already rescued. Still sad it had the feet cut off but that’s probably easier to do that making new tubes. 

[Salvagedcircuit]

Definitely. Making the end feet and curved brackets should be a lot easier than bending an entire bar. Pretty wild find.

Finding an oem comanche sport bar is hard in itself. The longbed even harder. A long bed bar on a different truck? That's unicorn level probability! Huge thanks to @strictlyxjs.

I feel like I have seen more LWB bars than SWB bars recently, but nice score! Same with toppers--seem to exist more for LWB than SWB.

[boxyjeep]

Amazing score.  I’m keeping my eyes peeled out here too…

Hahaha. That's awesome! I was thinking of offering lower, but it was a 200mi each way and I wanted the guy to be slightly motivated for the sale to go through. I only had that day to make it happen lol.

Thanks. It took some trial and error to get the dimensions right. I think the bar was slightly pinched in to fit into the nissan bed. I had to take a 4x4 and jack to open it back up to the right ballpark. It was also painful to square cut the original bar. sweating bullets lol

[Salvagedcircuit]

The rollbar is whole again. The mopar gods have been appeased. It'll be painted up nice soon enough. Woo hoo.
