I sold that one to scott and he added the bars around the head lights they came in on some jap imported hiluxs mostly ln65s etc so you could hunt around some wreckers you may be able to find them the tubing in the main bars isn't all that thick though would be simple to make for someone with a tube notcher or plenty of time to grind our the radius on the supports tying th two main tubes together, Smittybuilt in the states used to bulid a bar like this also
