    [NB 2000 in DFW] Shopping for Roll Bar, Suggestions?

    I'm in the market for a roll bar for my baby. I want a reasonably priced, step up from a mouse trap. Where should I go? I can do online, but the shipping makes me cry tiny tears of poor man sadness. I'm in DFW (Dallas, more specifically) and willing to drive a bit.

    Track Dog Racing ships in the HardDog rollbars in batches to save on shipping. Check with them. Otherwise, it's custom rollbar time, but that could easily eclipse the cost of a HardDog plus shipping.

    Tell William that Jason sent you.

    Head to Keller's drive in on Northwest Hwy Wednesday night. Folks start showing up at 7ish, but some wait a bit for the temp to drop a little.

    You can check out a number of different bars. Most are Hard Dog Hardcore variants, though I did see one Sport and what looked like a Clearview out there last week.
    '90 "LE" with red bits - 7/6 Flex, FM Front Bar, 14x7 +19 RPF1, PWR, SPAL, Maxim Works, Thermal R&D, HDHCSDM2, Zoom, Anvil II, 330mm mahogany Deep Corn, AC/PS delete, LE interior, attitude
    '08.5 CWP MS3 GT - AST 4100, TriPoint Rear Sway and Links, JBR STS w/ bushings and lockout plate, Moddiction Anvil II

    jux! You da best! I'm gonna try to make it out there tonight to see if anyone will let me measure their bars. I spoke with my boss' husband yesterday and he offered to help my build a custom one (engineer + welding experience).
