I like everything about that truck except for the ridiculous roll bar (from a pickup?), and the mouse fur dash and door panels!

Nice

I think if I were paying that much, I'd rather something more "factory" not all pimped out like that one.
Nice though.

What's with the measuring stick.....?

Looked through all the pics and didn't see one.......

Think the price would have been higher if they had done it stock.

I dont understand, The picture shows the roll bar in with the soft top cross bars still on. You would have to take that roll bar out to get the top on so what is the point. Besides the fact that it looks stupid.No AC. What is that thing under the column.? Could have done better for the price. Someone liked it.

It is in nice shape, but I'd remove the roll bar, the tubes on the side, and change the interior color.

By the way, 72BLAZERDUDE, you can put the top up with the roll bar on. I have a roll bar and a soft top. It goes up and down with out any interferance.

Bouncytruck. It looks like you have a stock roll bar and the one in that Blazer sticks up quite a ways over the windshield frame. Would it still work?

My roll bar is the Smittybilt. The one on that truck is obviously from a StepSide pickup. It does stick up awefully high. I also noticed that there is only one bow for the top and there should be two - a front and a rear. They mount to the bed rail in just about the same place but one should go over and in front of the roll bar in the up postion and the other goes to the back just above the rear window. I'd guess that the soft top will fit but I doubt you can get a hard top on that thing...

If you go to kaylinetops.com they have the blazer with the white top and if you look the rear bow sits way forward so my guess is that the roll bar acts as the front bow and then they use the real bar for the rear.
