Does any one make an aftermarket roll Bar, Need one myself. Have no Hard top and hate driving topless telling myself if your gonna wreck hit it dead on head first! Of course being old heavy metal I know I will win in 95% of the crashes! Still would rather have the safety factor!

I've seen your style quite often. From what I gather the style you see on Gary's and my blazer is generally considered to be the factory (or dealer installed for those picky ones out there) roll bar.

When I found the part number on mine, someone told me that stood for Hickey Enterprises (who made the bar) along with their part number as you can see in one of my pics.

Thats great!! Thanks for all the responce. Ill post some pics when I get it put in my Blazer. The guy is selling it to me for $150. Is that a fair price?
Thanks for all your help!!

I don't know what would be a fair price for something like that, but if you ask me $150 doesn't sound like all that much for a bolt in roll bar.
If I were needing one I'd pay that for it.

sounds like a good price,I have not seen any for sale,I have looked here and there. I will be on the hunt soon for one. I have spent a good bit the last few weeks on other parts I needed. should be in shape to purchase one around July!

I payed $50.00 for mine but had to drive 10 hour round trip to get it. $150.00 is a good price if you dont have to very fare to get it.

Only paid $50 for mine. Then I had it powder coated for $100, not that it necessarily needed it but I wanted it nice and new looking. They don't come around too oftern, so you gotta take what's out there for sale unless you can wait for a better price. Good Luck.
