The 3M double sided tape will work just fine for you. That's all they use with vent visors and hood scoops and the never go flying off. Should work perfect for a racerback. Post up pics when you get it done, I don't see to many Ram's with those on them.

I've been looking for a double single rollbar for it since I got it, but found this cheap and thought I'd try it out....it still gives me a lightbar to mount some lights. I am about 80% convinced to put it on so I'm gonna paint it and bolt it together for a good look before I commit to it. I kinda like it though, something different from every other Dodge around here

The only thing that worries me about taping it on is that it will be catching alot of air on the highways, etc., especially with 4 lights on it. I know hoodscoops, ventshades, etc. are held on by the tape, but they are quite aerodynamic compared to this thing. I have already bodyfilled the screw holes on it so I am still gonna attempt the tape. I guess I'll just have to see how it works... I'm gonna try it on there for a couple weeks before I add the lights just in case.
Another question, what is the best way to paint it? I have sanded the yellow paint to scuff it up, and am planning on using primer, but is there any type that is better than another? I have used several different primers in my years of backyard car repair and bodywork, but I am no professional and have never painted something fibreglass like this before.
sorry for the long read, and thanks in advance for any help! It is greatly appreciated!

thanks for the input. Lucky for you its not your truck.
I think you should paint the whole truck flat black...I may do that one day. Like something out of Mad Max...

Yea if it was I would burn it to the ground and I'm in the fire department. I like the ones that you see on big rig. If I get one of them I have to get the lights on top and cab lights as well.
