OK, So you are really into offroading and you love to prep your truck for the mud bogs and hill climbs.

But....you want to be safe and equip your badazz rig with the best roll-over protection.

Only thing is...you are a plumber, not a welder!.....:(

Heck, Why not show off your PVC screwing skills!?

And....if anyone questions the strength of your creation, remind them that you built it out of Schedule 80!

Actually that's kind of what I was thinking about doing for a mockup/test fit in my car to figure out a way to make a bolt-in removable bar.

Yeah, but then you would remove the PVC pieces and have it made out of welded steel.

Uhmmmm.......You would........wouldn't you....???

Hmmm....glue all the joints, screw in an air fitting, fill it all with Helium, instant lower E/T's because Helium is lighter than air...WIN.

How bout filling the PVC tubes with concrete to make it ultra rigid....?

Or drill the tubes full of holes and pump in water...the truck would wash itself and water your lawn at the same time!

Could you imagine if they tried to cross from Mexico back into the U.S. with that truck???
Do you think US Customs would "go to town" with a sawzall ?!?

Are you crazy? They'd hack up the 58 people they managed to cram into those tubes.

If this truck passes a vehicle inspection, it would still fail a plumbing inspection. I hope it is not supposed to be an advertisement of the persons skillz at laying pipe.

10-4....I came out of Lowes and saw this parked across from me.
I couldn't resist and took out my trusty digital camera!

The owner must have been in Lowes buying more 4" PVC pipe!...schedule 80....of course!......:rofl:

I see the hood is either open, or he is taking advantage of crappy alignment and creating his own "ram air" style hood.

Indeed, somebody at one time put decent work into this. Prerunner parts cost ALOT more than sch 80!

No! Fill them with gummie bears and it would be shock absorbent!
Actually, I find this hilarious. Most pickup roll bars are purely cosmetic anyway.
