Who sales SF Roll Bar

You need to be a bit more specific as to what your looking for.
nothing specifically called a roll bar on a HMMWV.
a picture of what your looking for might help or a part #

Ironically I asked someone locally about this the other day because he has this on his vehicle. He said the same thing SF and the early SF so I did more research and found out that SF stands for special forces and the model number is M1165
I do not think they will work with soft tops which is what I want to do. I saved a few pictures I hope this helps the original poster locate what he is looking for and I would also possibly like to have this setup as I do not feel safe with the standard M998 setup it has now. I have probably seen over 100 off road roll overs in person

Thnx for the info.

What is pictured is the Lightweight Weapons Station with the addition of MSG rear bars. You can find most parts to the kit, but the H-frame turret support is nearly impossible to find. This setup is/was mostly used by Israeli, Canadian and Greek special forces.

Regarding a soft top, I don't think the standard US soft top will work, but the Israelis used a "bikini" type top with this setup. Do a search of "Israel" and "Hamer". Try this link, http://www.hmmwvinscale.com/israelihamervariants.htm

I have this type C pillar setup....A person can add a softop with some work.

 

[BLK HMMWV]

How many more of those bearing supports you have laying around?

 

[86humv]

Last one on earth.

 

[BLK HMMWV]

Your earth or ours?
you always have a way of finding hard to find items.

 

[86humv]

Yep...thats it for now.
Might be some in florida or maine.

 

[Lionel]

I have a few, but shipping is prohibitive.

Any hot rod / chassis shop that works on / builds racecars can fab up whatever kinda roll bar / cage you can think up...

 

[recycled steel]

sent a pm we make 1 piece sf roll bars.

I'm having one built up now. It will bolt on using existing holes. It will mount just behind the existing C pillar. I will post pics when it's done.

 

[ZZZZZZCOBRA1]

Are you going to just connect it to the body or try to hook into the frame somehow?

 

[lowell66dart]

A little progress. The plates got cut on the waterjet today. I need to drill the angle this weekend and hopefully the pipe gets bent and welded next week. It will be as close to the shape of the C pillar as possible and have the same amount of forward slant/lean. The PVC is where I will get the main hoop and support bars welded on.

This is only intended to give the passengers a little more protection in case someone tee bones me and we get upside down. The truck will never see conditions to turn it over with me driving. I am also going to mount a skinny LED light bar under the roll bar facing backwards. My goal was to put build something similar to Gregs pics above and not drill 20 holes in the body.

It would be easy to attach this to the frame or any of the suspension mounts if someone needed that level of protection and do it up in steel. Lot's of room under the fenders...

 

[lowell66dart]

Finished up around noon and rolled a quick coat of paint on. Hope to get the whole truck painted and reassembled next week.

I can imagine your fenders will just buckle if you roll over.

I can imagine your fenders will just buckle if you roll over.

That's what I was thinking also , there is nothing going to the frame.
