Holy barbed wire batman!!!! I think I don't want to ride in the back of your truck! (Cool Idea though)

Did you use pipe or rod for the wire strands?

I'm thinkin' reaching through the back window to get a frosty one out of the cooler could prove to be a challenge..

Nice work. I like the way you made it stick out beyoung the cab of the truck. I sometimes carry scafflolding and I don't want the legs to be able to hit the cab. Looking for a heavy duty pre-made that fits the bill.

The main strands are solid bar. 5/8ths if memory serves me correctly. The barbs are solid bar 3/8ths...

Sometimes antiseptic works best when applied within..

That's awsome. I like that a lot. Nice work. I would have it powdercoated in a chrome like finish (shiny silver). -Glen

I gotta ask; how did you manage to twist 5/8ths solid rod? Or the barbs for that matter. That takes some serious power... or a LOT of heat!

Looks terrific tho, excellent work!

You better give it up or I'll put somethin' in your coffee that'll MAKE you talk! And I won't stop at the 'How'd you bend that' question either!

Prob'ly had a real welder do it FOR him!
