roll bar yes or no

it wouldn't look too bad painted flat black..but if you take the time to do that, take care of the rust on your frame at the same time...JMO..

I'm a fan of the pointless roll bars, but it looks really good either way. I'm not too sure

you've got a pretty nice looking truck there. I say take the mudflaps off aswell and it would look good. as for the rollbar I just can't decide lol.. I like it though.. maybe paint it like you want and give it a try for a while? keep the brush guard though!

nah, drop that ish off to the garbage man. If you like the lights do a gutterless light rack on the top.

What if the "roll bar" was factory?


My vote: Yes to roll bar. I had a Toyota one on my '93 for about 6 months, then decided it was too childish ..plus I didn't have lights on it anymore

I'd much rather have my black tool box

comes in MUCH more handy


but I really don't think that chrome matches you're truck too well... there's no other chrome on it... it's all blacked out up front and in the back...

Those cosmetic roll bars will rust a hole in your bed.

yeah it wasn't a bad deal at all





I even used it for a second battery placement









but it doesn't look too bad on the ol girl either




I've got so much crap stowed away in it now that I use regularly, I don't know what I'd do without it, lol

I call BS I had one for two years, and nothing happened, just don't be dumb and spray some undercoating where it mounts, or herculine your bed..
