Rollbar

Does anybody know what rollbar will drop into a FSB with minimal alterations.
I have access to a fab shop so cutting and welding are not a problem. I was thinking Ranger or old Toyota. I can't be the first person who has tried this.

check out JBG, they have a weld in kit thats pre bent and cut. a few over at FSB have just gotten theres installed and it looks good. I wouldnt bother with a truck style rollbar those are more show then function.

The object is to do this on the cheap. I just mounted a custom built roof rack for the spare tire and a hi-lift and a box for oil, chains and whatever I dont want in the bed. I welded the rack myself out of mostly free materials. It only cost me $7 and I was on the clock at work for most of the welding. I probably came out ahead. I was hoping to pick up something out of a junkyard cheap. All it needs to do is stiffen up the body so that I can replace the stock doors with tube steel (also free) doors, and not blow out the windsheild. I dont care how pretty it is.

Maybe you could cut one out of a old pre '90 Toyota 4runner.

I went to JBG and couldn't get any results on a search of rollbar or roll bar. Could you link me to this product, I am very interested in one of these.
