Roll bars?
Hello every one i've been trying to find some rolls bars in my town but even one thinks theirs are made of gold and should be sold as such..
Is there any online places that sale them under 900 bucks?
Any help would be awesome

Roll bars imply a liability that no one wants to take on cheaply. If your desperate, you can have show bars bent up out of SS exhaust pipe. You may have to bring beer, but a good exhaust shop should be able to bend some 304 or possibly 409 SS pipe to look like a roll bar.

Roll bars imply that they make rolling over a truck safe, which is why they started calling them show bars and making them out of lighter materials. Some fool must have installed a set then injured himself and sued the manufacture, or SEMA lawyers decided it was best for the industry to change the name.

A real roll cage is a lot more heavier steel with serious welding and gusseting than a light bar. Next time you see an offroad truck go on it's head or a stock car hit the wall, you'll see how inexpensive they really are....
But, no need for all that to mount lights. Happy motoring!
