i found this bed bar

http://www.autoanything.com/hitch-bed-a ... x?kc=ffsku

but its over 500 dollars. thats rediculous. it says "not to be used as a roll bar"

so why would i pay 500 bucks for something that can't be counted on... i want something cheap just to mount lights and look cool.

also i saw a 720 in the "show your 720" thread (or some similar name, on this forum) and a guy on there had nerf bars but he has only 1 post since 2008 so i have little hope of reaching him.

anyone know of any of these parts im requesting? do you know of a product for a different truck like an s10 that can be easily modified to fit? let me know.

ya i figured most here aren't into it.

i've always been all tuner cars, but i decided to get a little mud truck, and these light little trucks really do the trick. they dont sink as bad

A lot of those parts aren't model-specific. Find a generic unit that's pretty close and make it fit or have one fabbed up for your truck.

I got lucky and found one that was used. Guy was trying to sell his '85 Nissan 720 but I just bought the roll bar for $50. I think it's a homemade one but they did a pretty good job. Next, I will put on some nicer BIGGER wheels!!!

I suggest you contact a local steel supplier and arrange for someone to make a custom roll bar. I bet it would be less than $150.
