max IV roll bar

[bayshore21631]

Hey gang, I bought a older max IV several months ago and decided to put a roll bar on the unit for additional safety. Any one who has made one, vs a standard commercial unit. I have a friend in a body shop, and it appears that it would be sufficiently cheaper than the commercial unit. advise is allways welcome.

It would be fairly easy. There would only be a total of six bends in the tubing. Two for each "hoop" and then two very slight bends on the connecting tubing between the front and rear hoops. Some angle iron for the body mounts and you are done. If you search the site I believe someone has posted the measurements in the past.

I've searched far and wide on the site, and I can't find build information on the Max IV roll bar either. Could you point me to any threads?

This is the one I was thinking of when I said I thought the dimensions had been posted but they never were: http://www.6x6world.com/forums/max-a...cage-time.html

Here is a thread about the angle iron size for the body mounts: http://www.6x6world.com/forums/max-a...nd-max-iv.html

This thread mentions the tubing size that rdr used on his: http://www.6x6world.com/forums/max-a...-roll-bar.html

Sorry, I thought there was more than that.

Can anyone post the exact dimensions of the factory Max IV roll bar so that we have it for all? The factory roll bar is very expensive, but it looks like it would be dirt cheap to fabricate. Uncle Vin

Anybody? It would be a nice Christmas present.
