Roll bar project

Buddy of mine has a roll bar and it fits pretty well in the taco. So should I pursue this project and go full Marty McFly or leave it for the next chump. Vote above and leave comments below.

Update:

bar looks similar to this...

 

Where's the vote option? Are you talking a half cage or ? Pictures might help.

 

projet? lol

 

poll posted. Project as in, install it, paint it, add lights, etc. (small project).

update:

SOB missed a key typing it! I need an adult (mod)!

 

If you want to do something like that, might as well get a bed cage made and go full retard long travel

 

Agree. Totally impractical but may install it purely for looks, I may put it in so it's bolt on and can be easily removed. I got a soft tonneau and a cap so getting a roll bar gives me the trifecta of bed accessories. I am looking to eventually replace the soft tonneau with a hard tri-fold.

Mucho dinero senor. I would love to but I'm poor as f**k so I am going with the cheap as hell route on this one!

 

how does it bolt to the bed?

 

Are you going to put lights on it or any utilities?

 

pretty sure I gotta make my own holes and bolt it down from the underside with some big ass washers and bolts. Not sure on the one I am looking at, I only received a few pics of it and I will be looking at it tomorrow.

yeah if I like what I see I will prob put 4 lights on top, either led pods to match what I got, or round KC lights and go old school. Then I may tack on other crap, fire extinguisher, antenna etc. I go overboard pretty quick.

 

I don't see the composite bed being able to hold up in that style roll bar.
if you went to the frame , it would be a different story..
Looks seems like the only thing going for it

 

I agree, once I see it, I will have a better understanding of how I can mount it. I find it to be non-functional but aesthetic even if it is attached to the frame.

 

If you are just doing it for looks then I would go with something like this.

It is what is included with the t-force package. Bolts to the bed rails so you don't have to make holes in your bed.

 

retro look would be killer though.. just need all the other decals and goodies to match..
interested to see how this turns out.

 

I have seen that one before and I like it a lot, the one I am getting is costing me far less, hence the only reason for this thread. If I found that one for the price I found, I would snatch it without thinking twice. My motto with my truck is that I wait for however long it takes to find a good deal and the roll bar I found is a pretty sweet deal, even if I don't want it (in which case I may buy it and re-sell it).

Also, what bothers me is that "T-force" doesn't really come back to any specific dealer/company from what I found. Also, the photos on NFABs website are stock photos from when the T-force was introduced so it makes me think that NFAB can make a high quality duplicate but was not the original manufacturer.

there is a guy on here that goes by mcfly or something who has a roll bar with old school lights, also check out anyone with the T-force package, it has that look. Decals would be sweet, except I only work in black

 

Yeah I hear you on the price! I will say that the roll bar that you posted DOES look really good.
