An adjustable support bar for raising/holding an object, such as a vehicle hood, in an elevated position to provide access to a fire under the hood includes a telescoping inner and outer tube assembly. The inner tube is provided with a series of longitudinally aligned spaced holes. A collar is slidably positioned over the outer tube with an elongated channel-shaped extension rod secured at one end to the collar and at the other end to the upper end of the inner tube. The extension rod, except for it's ends, is spaced from the outer (and inner) tube, except for the ends thereof, to accommodate a user's hand for raising the top of the inner tube to a desired height. A latching lever mounted on the outer tube selectively engages one of the holes in the inner tube to lock the tubes together when the desired height has been reached.
