    Hi all. Trying to get a lead on where I can get roll bars for my Taco that has a Tonneau soft cover. I need them for appearance primarily, still make the cover useable, and eventually install round LED lights. I’ve seen the image attached and would like to find out where I can get them. The metal brackets that wrap around the cover appear to allow the use of stock sport bars (such as the Black Horse roll bars). Thank you. A9A3D3F4-D456-420E-BBCE-74FB0F21B628.jpg

    if it's a tri-fold, there won't be a way to fold it completely to the cab and snap the buckles, thus eliminating the use of the folding option.

    Thanks HoulaHauler. It is the vinyl kind that you can roll and, much like tri-fold, I won’t be able to buckle it all the way up to the cab. I’m willing to deal with that limitation.

    Backrack has a tonneau friendly mounting system. You may be able to start from there.

    I think you are best off having a metal fabricator weld up some plate steel that would mount into the track system, follow the profile of the bed rail and provide a rack mounting point above the tonneau.

    Thanks MabePossibly. The Black Horse
    Roll Bar “RB-TOTAB - Black | 05-17 Taco” attaches to the track system. I could then attach fabricated “C” brackets to the base, and then attach the bars to these brackets. Are there pre-fabricated brackets I can buy or, more likely, I’ll probably have to go to a metal shop?

    I wanted to know for sure before investing in the roll bars.

    I’m betting nothing exists.
