well iv been doing some thinkin any one got pics of a p/u with a roof rack i think it would look sweet

 

IMO roof racks on trucks look pretty lame.

Now a light bar or a roll bar +lights would look bitchin'

 

i considered doing the same a while back because i was jealous of the hi-lift and shovel mounting solutions that a rack would create, but i opted out because yes, i think it would look dumb. i like my hi-lift on top of my toolbox...even though it makes it much harder (heavier) to open the top...

 

Check out the black Tacoma,his rack is on the bed which doesn't look too bad.

i think a roof rack on a p/u would be kinda funky nothing more than a light bar should be up there, and whats the point of a roof rack on a pickup? thats what the back is for

 

Roofrack on a pickup would look sweet.

I've done up concepts of the idea.. heres one of many

 

personally i say get a roll bar and lights

 

Drew's concept looks great! i would do it if i had a pickup....fortunately i have a 4Runner!

 

That is very cool indeed.

 

Here's kind of a compromise http://www.backcountryracks.com/inde...uck_Rack_small
This can be set in two different positions, above the cab or about 8-10" below.

Towards the bottom of this page there's one on a Tacoma.

i think a roof rack would be sweet you know why unique we all have diffrent styles so dont let any one else comments about it be lame bother you
what you need is cross bars you can get them custom from Yakima to your size and the towers would have to be custom mounted of course i dont know about that sorry

so what does a roll bar do? you cant carry estra stuff with that can you?
but a basket roof rack you can.........

 

I just put shovels and stuff in the bed of my truck!!

 

...and much more functional.

 

Damn thats nice I'd like it on my truck. I works on the 86 style and looks good.

 

Wow im sorry but i thought he asked for pics not opinions?!?

Do it and post pics, be one of the few

 

Did you end up doing this? i like the overhang off the back of the cab. I have a flat bed and itd look cool above the tool box. good drawing, ive been searching like a mad man for anything like this all over the internet and its the only thing i found. i think ill go off of this, thanks

 

Toyospearo's 93 flat bed has a roof rack and it looks awesome

 

My 87 4Runner had roofracks on it when I bought it. They came off a Saab and the PO said he found them on the side of the road. I never used them though so I ended up selling them.
