Let me see your Roll bars! or headache racks

im about 75% sure my dad is getting me a roll bar off an older Tacoma a guy down the street has that has just been sitting in his field. if anyone has pictures of roll bars or a headache rack id love some pictures. also give your opinion on them. which do you prefer

 

If I had to pick, I'd take the roll bar, but idk it might look funny with your yakimas. I've never like headache racks much, the only reason I'd get either is to mount lights on, but that's why I want a roof rack or light bar. The roll bar will probably force you to ditch your toolbox too and take up some bed space but its totally your choice. Gooogle images will work wonders.

 

i think my tool box will fit in it. and i would move the lights to the roll bar on a swing down barkinda like the Baja ones so i can still use the rack for a canooooooo and surfboards. im on google as we speak! just was hoping to get some imput on here

 

My headache rack is the divider out of a cop car, made some mounts for it and bolted it in

 

^ thats actually pretty cool. the only problem i have with some headache racks is i cant use the back window to reach out and grab stuff out of the bed or put things in it.

 

yeah...that is the only thing i dislike about mine. Maybe someday i'll make a new one with a small opening in front of my slider so i can toss stuff into the bed

 

Heres mine, home built actuated light bar.

 

i love you light ser up in my second post you can see i was talking about your idea im stealing it if you dont mind is the light bar automatic ???

 

Haha thanks! Thats fine with me I stole my idea from someone else too. lol

 

what is the hydrolic arm thing? is it on a switch?

 

Its a linear actuator and yup its connected to a switch in the cab so I can raise the lights up, put them down, and adjust them while driving.

 

thats pretty sick.do you have picture where you run the wires?

 

Thanks! No I dont but I just ran em down the inside of the bar and along the frame into the cab.

 

damn i was going to get one of those till i looked them up.. aint that cheap. guess ill be making it manuel for a while.. till i have the balls to drop that much money on something to leave out in the open all the time

 

Haha ya they can get pricey. I found mine at a steal only paid like $70 for it.

 

hopefully i can find that kind of deal when i need mine

 

Just mounted mine a few weeks ago

 

i like that. if i dont get the roll bar i want to make something like like those last two pictures^^
