Would anybody happen to have blueprints/a diagram of specs for a rollbar? i am planning on building one for my truck this summer since school is out but I'm not quite sure where to start,where it attaches, or any of that really lol any suggestions?

 

Well it kinda depends on what your end goal is for this thing's purpose. If you're just after a show bar to stick lights on, save your time and wait till a smittybilt pops up on CL. If you're looking for actual rollover protection, IMO it's better to do a real cage, tied into the frame than just a 4 point bar in the bed.

 

Id do the cage, but if you want i can post a copy of Scores cage specs and design

 

hey, my roll bar just bolted down in the bed saved my life

 

I've rolled toyotas and had just the cab save my ass too. I wouldn't put my faith in anything bolted to sheet metal in a roll is all. FWIW, I don't like most interior cages I see in these trucks much either. I know for a fact my head WILL dent sheet metal, and that it won't dent tube. I'd rather take my chances with cab crush than head trauma from smacking tubes with my noggin.

Most roll bars (light bars), bolt to the bed (just behind the cab) and on the fender wells.
As said above, find them on craigslist or kijiji or in a junkyard (Pick and Pull).
Here's mine:


Or you can get an internal roll cage. 4xInnovations make one for these trucks. And it works pretty well, check them out on youtube. They roll a pickup more than a few times to test it out.
Here's the 4th test, they go over it after and the driver would only just be shaken and not scrambled.
