89eliminator Posted May 18, 2008 Share Posted May 18, 2008 I'm just test fitting this rollbar from an early Dodge Dakota. It is currently jeepco's, but I'm probably gonna buy it off of him. It fits pretty good considering its not even made for a MJ. Its just sitting in the bed right now, with nothing tight. Let me know what you guys think...

TNT Posted May 18, 2008 Share Posted May 18, 2008 very nice.... looks like it belongs there to me!! edit: with a coat of high gloss of course... Even the cargo light still should work great. It looks like it is just below the bar. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LEAD_NOT_FOLLOW Posted May 18, 2008 Share Posted May 18, 2008 I'm not a huge fan of roll bars. But like I've always told you Wade, if you like it thats all that matters. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SuperWade2 Posted May 18, 2008 Share Posted May 18, 2008 No Brainer... if you don't buy it, maybe it's time for a road trip to cheese country for me to pick it up...Maybe pick up a half dozen or so $5 MJ's while I'm out that way... go for it!

89eliminator Posted May 18, 2008 Author Share Posted May 18, 2008 here are a few pics of the fenderwell mount. this is pretty much the only thing that has to be cut to fit. besides this, i could bolt the rollbar in right now if i wanted to. I'm gonna weld up all the seams first though for extra strength. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Twisty Posted May 19, 2008 Share Posted May 19, 2008 Too bad you guys are all the way out in WI. I have 2 LWB MJ roll bars here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm gonna weld up all the seams first though for extra strength. It fits right over the wheel weld pinch weld, but that looks easily modded to fit. Prolly should make up some backing plates too like the factory ones had. Gonna look great on your rig. :cheers: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Imperial21 Posted May 19, 2008 Share Posted May 19, 2008 I think it looks good! edit---BTW, that is a really nice lookin rig! awesome red with the flares to match! got a shot of the front?-I'd like the see the bush guard on the front. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CWLONGSHOT Posted May 19, 2008 Share Posted May 19, 2008 SPIKE IT!! Looks GREAT from Connecticut!! Really "completes" the look. Roll bars on LWB's really deceive the eye. They shorten the long look of the LWB MJ. I like it!! CW Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

89eliminator Posted May 22, 2008 Author Share Posted May 22, 2008 rollbar is done :D . made backing plates for the wheelwell mounts, and welded all the seams together. i have the cb antennas angled back on purpose so they arent constantly banging off the vertical bar. fits pretty good in my opinion.

Cut the legs and twist? yeah, had to cut the legs at an angle, and rotate them a little bit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
