Tires are like boobs, they always look big until you have played with them for a while, then you just want a bigger set.

Caleb, unless you have the talent and skills to make a repair on a damaged bar you will be wasting your time, I have repaired mine twice now and when it gets hit it ends up back in it's damaged shape, they need to be cut and rebuilt to lose the memory, and if you have those skills for the money they want you might as well start from scratch. And if you are paying you will find 2K won't go far by the time it is manufactured and coated.

GOOD LUCK,

FITZY.

the cheap Iron man bar I thought was $1350 and the dearer one $1750. Why dont you try Ron at Kiwilink Imports.
I believe his are identical to Ironman, but even cheaper.. I think they come out of Russia.. But are Airbag compatible etc, so unless someone has one that has been crap...
Dont follow me. i'll get stuck and need a tow..

I have a top of the line iron man bar on the playdoh. Seems to be a well made unit, not that is ever really likely to see serious action on the pussy truck.
If you have an airbag equipped rig, you have no option other than to buy an airbag compliant bar, (unless of course you want to spend moonbeams on crash testing your own design).
Ugly is a state of mind..... and the state of my truck!
