ghostwagens~ This topic is 3 years old! Still no roo bars, but the talk continues. Now when is someone going to get some made?

If someone would just sell me a nice one for my bay window I would happily make a boat load....seriously :)

I know a guy who likes to fabricate things for ACVW and im currently working on a design for him to make and test fit on my 74.

Ill update as we move further with the project.

What ever y'all put together I would be interested too. Any photos of what you are working on?

This last summer my wife and I went on a trip in our Westy up the California coast. We pull into this little coffee house and this guy says"Nice bus! I used to have one but I crashed mine" and then he stepped out from the counter and he had this metal leg that he walked on PERFECTLY and then he says "that's how I lost my leg when I rear ended this woman going about 30 mph"
My wife and I have been on the roo bar qwest since!

Makes me wonder how many people have lost a leg or the ability to walk after crashing in one of these cute little death traps that I love soo much :shock:

the thing that i have noticed is that most of them attach to the chassis rails ( or appear to)

Sun Dec 03, 2006 2:02 pm

I like those things.

Sun Dec 03, 2006 5:35 pm

I'm going to get one made or buy one for my Bus.
I hit a deer last May and a roo/deer bar would have
helped out a lot.
Damn deer are like rats now. :snipersmile:

If anybody ever makes one, i'm definitely interested...

Sun Dec 03, 2006 7:47 pm

I keep singing this same song, but...

someone can make themselves a lot of money making and selling roo bars for Bays.

Sun Dec 03, 2006 7:52 pm

lol, thats the whole idea of why i decided to go to the drawing board.

All i need to do is come up with a design that looks really good on a bay and then give the design to my ACVW mechanic and we would start the process of making it and at that point if we get enough ppl interested, we will undergo production..

Wish me luck!

Just keep the design simple like this:

and have a spare tire mount. You'll do well. One guy told me that he thought they could be done in China for about $65-75 delivered to the US. So if you could come at around $250 the market is there.

There seems to be two different shapes to the roo bars one with a squared rounded look around the lights and one with the round look around the lights. Do you see it? It's subtle.

I will refer to them as a "round roo" or a "square roo". Which is better?

Sun Dec 03, 2006 11:42 pm

Better? Definitely subjective, but I think the one on the black and gray bus is better:

I'd vote for Round Roo (on the white bus a few posts back). A little less massive and cleaner look.
