Re: back rack vs roll bar
Unless the 'roll bar' is a real roll bar (doubt it) - I would pass........

if you need a back rack ( to protect your back window) get that
if you need to keep your self from getting crushed get a "real" roll bar
if you don't need either of these cuz you don't roll your truck on a regular basis and don't chuck stuff at your back window, then don't get them

Headache racks are nice. Save your back window from accidents. And you can mount lights on the top of them too if you wanted

Re: back rack vs roll bar
I thought the back rack would be useful as a tie down point. I figured I could do the same with the roll bar, but the back rack is probably more useful, considering it protects my window and i have no plans to roll my truck....
