oh now I see a picture thats a little diferent. My rear kickers go behind the wheelwells like that one. Is that stock location or aftermarket?

Mike C 05-20-2002 06:53 AM

That is the Smittybuilt "stock" location. It is built with 2" tubing and I couldn't finde anybody locally to bend 2" for cages, just 1 1/2 or 1 3/4. IMO, the 2" is minimum size as the smaller ones are too spindly looking. The Smittybuilt bar was reasonably priced I thought and went in in a day. That picture was shot in 1990 right after I put the bar in and re-did the interior.

Here are pictures of the roll bar in my K-5. I don't know what brand it is since it was in the truck when I bought it. Unfortunately, someone welded it into place.

That's a Smittybuilt bar like mine, just without the cage conversion.

Skyetone 05-20-2002 06:25 PM

Cool I guess I have a smitty then. does the kicker neck down to fit in the hoop or does it stay 2" all the way up?

Well, I'm on a Mac, so I click and hold on the image until a contextual menu comes up and then I goto "open image in new window." I assume your on a PC (like most of the world) and I believe that you can Right mouse click on an image and have it open in a new window or you can get the properties which will state the url of the image. Can someone on a PC confirm?
