A few years ago when I was a full time welder I loved those kinds of bars, not for my ute but for the money I made by building them for the B+S boys, there is a big following for that kind of thing round my area and like Dago said it's a choice and for them a way of life,same as rice burners and religion it's not for all.. but the word would be very boring if we all agreed on every thing. Having said that I also hope that Dago and those with a soft spot for these bars don't get 'too' wound up on this thread coz not every one was bagging it and some are just having a laugh. good on ya for sticking up for your self tho 'you have balls for putting it out there'. my 2cents.
