What roll bar is this?

[srgould41]

This roll bar was in my '71 40 and I know it isn't stock. Can someone tell me what year (roughly) it came out of? Is it aftermarket maybe?

Thanks,

Steve

Looks like a smittybuilt bar. I think!

Or an old Conferr bar.

are you going to put a full cage in it Steve??

I got the same with mine 71 Fj40 and PO claims it was dealer installed, it has marks where rest of the cage was welded to it - when i got it it was out of the rig. I also have bull bar for the front bumper - supposedly also dealer installed. PM for pictures if You like.

Yes, I will be installing a new full cage. Metal Tech I think. I am still deciding if I want to raise the rear wheel wells for better clearance. That will affect the cage decision quite a bit.

So this is NOT a factory roll bar, correct? That helps me a lot in understanding it. I have been told that it was factory by some and that it was aftermarket by others.

Now to sell it

Thanks guys.
