For or Against In-bed Roll bars

Jakerz · #1 01-09-2013, 10:15 PM

I have a smittybilt roll bar that sits bolted into my bed. Recently I have been wondering what other people thought about them. They look decent but just want some opinions.

I like the look of them, especially in black, but I dislike the way they compromise bed space and cant have a tonneau cover. I'd have one if it wasnt for those negative points.

As far as bed space they don't take much but the fact that I don't have the option for the tonneau cover is a huge downside.

they compromise bed space when you have bike, or you're moving, etc. Every inch counts, especially when you only have small to no cab space and a 6 ft bed

Yep. I like the way they look, especially on an extended cab pickup. But they are quite limiting, if you use the bed for more than tailgate parties.

Ya I guess just saying mine is pretty minimal but then I do get what you are saying. Thanks bro.

I can fit my Yamaha YFZ 450 that can fit, does that count as more then a tailgate party?! 😉 Thanks for the feedback though!

I have a black roll bar and lights on mine I love it. I felt before like there were to many rangers around where I live that looked exactly like mine. Now it feels unique.

if it doesnt affect your bedspace that much then I vote to keep it

Honestly? I think that might look a little odd not bad just odd you should try it and post pictures! As long as the mods you do to your truck make you happy who cares. So I say go for it!

That's I was thinkin. Odd. But I think I do just the right amount of lights/accessories it may look good. Maybe roll bar then bed rails?
