Carryboy, Aunger, ARB or one of those mobs would fit them. Id go to autobarn and aske them for suppliers of the rollbars. Ford would be able to tell you as well who supplies them. Then just give them a call, and Bobs your aunty.

Girl in a BA ute? Hmm.... Wanna swap?

Same sorta places I'd imagine, Carryboy, ARB, or one of those. Do yourself a favour and don't go to Ford, they do really charge like wounded bulls..

Fordgirl, try Ebay too, sometimes you can stumble a across a bargain amongst the junk. Another place to try if you don't mind 2nd hand is one of our sponsors, Ferntree Gully Auto Salvage

You could try Blueys Utes they stock everything to do with utes.

www.hardcover.com.au is another site for fibreglass covers for utes.
As mention Blueys Ute world will be able to sort you out for Sports Bars if needed.
Trying to get sports bars and a hardcover to fit is going to be difficult though as there aren't many options ... you can get the Ford 3-piece hard cover to match the sports bars ... but expect to pay over $3000 for it all.

There is a utes/vans section on the forum though if you are after details for mods for your ute ... some excellent help in there from some of our members.

The Frod factory sports bars can go for anywhere between $400 and $800 ... depending on quality/damage, etc. on eBay

Yeah i think you're going to have to decide weather you want the sports bars, hard cover, or both.

1 or the other is easiest, if you want both you'll have to buy the entire genuine ford set up, be it new or second hand.

I was looking for sports bars for a mate a while ago, found some going for around $3 - $400 including the tonneau cover to suit. Pretty good price. Saw them on ebay.

Cheapest way to dress you ute up. If you need the back to be lockable, then i guess you buy the hard cover.

Got a pic of your ute?
