what do yall think about a roll bar in a ext cab?

 

A lot of people on here will say they are old school and no but I've always been a fan of roll bars

 

Money better spent on a headache rack.

 

dual tube chrome roll bars look good on scabs

 

Yea 2000mtz is right about the double/single roll bar i forgot to mention that is the one i will be getting on my earlier post

 

youll be sacrificing bed space/ accessability... I mean if all you use your truck for is playing and driving more power to you... but alot of us, such s myself use our trucks for working...

 

If you gonna take the time to do it, might as well do it right. No one in the after market does it right. Function over form, and most aren't sturdy enough to hold up too long if your playing with the truck, especially with lights up top.

 

i want and like the look of a roll bar if u do it right the bar wont shake bc i know people that have them and huntman i am a kid in highschool so all i use my truck for is mudding going to school and to go to the hunting camp with my dad on the weekends

 

They will. You also have to realize how the cab and bed move around on their bushings. Frames torque pretty easily. Your standard 97-03 bed can move any direction up to nearly an 1/2' on a rough enough road. Something I learned real quick in high school watching my friends completely trash their roll bars. They are made for show, and when you start putting the added weight of lights up there, bad things happen. It's pretty thin wall tubing too. If you had the stuff to make it at your AG shop I'd say make one out of 2" .120 wall DOM. Easy to weld on and you can always send it off to be chromed. I haven't been out of high school very long but I did pay a lot of attention to physics and I'm kinda a mechanical engineering major...over time they will bend, shake and even completely come apart.

 

Yeah, but one day the gray train ends and life begins.... Enjoy yourself, youth is wasted on the young!!!
