One guy said it fit perfectly for him. But they are an inch or 2 narrower than ours. But it will fit, it just may be slightly narrow.

So is everyone getting one now?

It'll be a little narrow. Get a tape measure and see what's what.

i got a mazda/ford 2005 b2300 and a 89 dak 4x4 sport with a factory roll bar in it. there not even close. in my opinion a ranger roll bar in a dak will fit but i think it will look way undersized. look for a bar out of a dak sport, there a perfect fit and look real good.

To be clear its a light bar. It wont protect you in a rollover unless its mounted to the frame. You may understand that, but its a common mistake.

I was looking at one this morning and think it would be way too narrow.
