Where do you live? I have one that I modified to fit a shortbed F150. I dont think I am going to mount it on my truck. I would be interested in selling. Just email me:

[email protected] Title it "Rollbar" so I dont delete it.

It's up to you on the size and thickness, depends on whether you want it inside the cab or in the bed. I would look at 2" OD x 0.120 thick for starters. You can rent a tubing bender for the main hoop, or look at buying a pre-bent kit. I have a 10-point rollcage from S&W Racecars, they also offer an 8-pt kit for inside the cab. Something mounted only inside the bed with kickers to the fenders is classed as a "show bar" only, and not meant for rollover protection. You should connect the tubing to the frame somehow for true support. JSM84
