Has anyone bought a new style PRM grab bar yet (the type that bolts onto the existing grab bar)? I think this is a pretty slick idea (as opposed to having to hack the factory one off)...here's a pic of the desert grab bar.

Thats how the DG one's go on and they bend all the time, but they are also DG. I myself would hack off the old one and weld on the tabs. Much stronger.

That's just an old pic from PRM's website. They took a couple of u-bolts and temporarily installed the grab bar to show how it would look. If you mounted one like that, it would slide around, and bend in no time at all. I'm going to buy one this Winter, hack off the rear of the subframe, and weld the tabs on. A pretty easy job. Then I'll just get the subframe repainted (or powdercoat the whole frame). I talked to PRM and they will weld on another flag mount, so I can run 2 flags in the dunes. One orange (legal) and one American flag, or whatever else I want.
