hey. i was looking around at things to do to my truck, i have seen a ranger around town with with a sport bar in the bed with off road lights which looked nice. i was wanting some input of what you think of my ideas to make one. i was thinking of building something basic that would mount to the box rails kind of like a back rack due to the fact i have a truck bed tent, mounting a bar in the box would take away from me being able to use it. i included a picture of the kind of shape im after, i know its a bronco but imagine it was a club cab dakota
let me know what you think

That would look good but I'd put a diagonal support piece across the vertical bars for more support but overall a good design

 

There's a guy with a black one that he mandrel bent and welded up himself.. it's a really nice one.

 

why not just get a backrack and add lights

 

like these???

i would like to make one for the truck too, it would be nice!

some of those are WAAAAAYYYY overkill.... but some are not bad.

 

Yeah here's the one I made, turned out good. Got 5 KC lights on top of it now, i'll have to snap some more pics soon.

Just build a chase rack. They are the ultimate in bed over roof storage and rollover protection.

can't tell from the pic, but just how long is your mullet?

 

I saw one for sale like that on craiglist a few months back Same picture IIRC

 

i like some of the pics you guys posted. at the shop i work at we have a pipe bender for roll cages and stuff so i can bend up to 13/4" tubing. i like the way yours looks OHSIXDAKOTA but the one im going to make will mount on the rails so i can still have full use of the box.
