what the heck is this: Roll Bar on '83

i bought a 83 yota a few months ago and it has something ive never seen. it has what appears to be somewhat of a roll bar welded to the bed. it is definatly not aftermarket. it also has a factory sunroof which ive never seen before either. has anyone else ever seen this "roll bar" before

It is definatly factory. I'm a fabricator by trade, if it was homemade I would be able to tell. It is not solid. Its channel and its made into the seam of the bed

looks like you have a 4x4 Mojave addition pickup, the utility rack and moon-roof give give it away.. most of the Mojave additions were 2wd, which is why yours is pretty cool.

I know it's not an '83 but I couldn't help but be reminded of this. LOVED this truck when I first saw the movie as a kid!
