$17k? They told me reserve was at $18,900!! Nice looking ride but seems like they are asking top dollar? Or maybe I am just a cheap azz...

I'm betting the bar is custom and made that way for a bikini top.

I think it is backwards. I wonder if they had to drill new holes to make it fit that way?

I don't think it's made for a bikini top. Look at the bends toward the bottom. It's in backwards. I just wonder how they managed to mount it like that.

Is it going down hill looks like a bad stance for a 4x4. I like the rake on muscle cars not on the blazer.

Looks like it's worth every bit of 17k to me, if the rest of the truck follows suit. These things are getting harder and harder to find in great condition. Most of them are jacked up mud/rock trucks that get the scchhiitt beat out of them.

I think it's backwards and they have all the post mounted to the back floorboard instead of 2 on the back and 2 on the step down

This one looks the same as well...doubt the "backwards" question from the OP.

Yeah, I would have to say that one is installed backwards as well.

Was there a factory bar, or are they all after market? I'd like one for mine.

There was no factory roll bar. Some were installed by the dealers. There were a number of manufacturers, mostly with similar designs. Mine has a "Fat Bar". I think they called it that because it's a little larger diameter than most.

Does anybody know who makes this roll bar? The top pieces are bolted on so you can remove the back half of it fairly easy.
