#52463 Are you talking about fabbing them yourself? I know how to install them, but fabbing them? you've got me hung.


Wouldn't it be a whole lot easier to just buy them?

Yes, I would like to make them myself. Im really good with metal fab and welding, I just dont know specifications the bars should have...

and yes it would be easier to just buy them but wouldnt EVERY DIY be easier to just buy the stuff or have someone else do it for you? I would like to make them for the fun of it :wink:

you should buy 1 and get all the info you need from it make 1 or 2 test them out and make a few more for tegs but make to where the bar is a few inches back so the back seat passenger's head wont touch the bar on the C pillar
