Are Roll Bars / Bed Bars still a thing?

[Ranger_Pawl]

What bar is that? Have a link by chance?

Sorry, no link. I had it put on the truck before picking it up from the dealership when I ordered it. It probably came from Ford or Ford Performance.

Edit: Here is the one I got.

Yes I am aware. That is why I stated "appearance package". ?? My intent is too keep the sunny side up. ??

I had no issues comprehending what you wrote ??

Ultimately I want the Roll Bars for mounting lights and antennas but also a bed cover of some sort - preferably rigid. I'm thinking I need a roll up cover because it is more likely to fit between the bed rails than sit on top of it where the roll bar light bar goes.

Once it arrives, I am installiling a Black Horse Classic Pro roll bar. This will work with my tonneau cover on my Tremor. I love the old school look on the mid size trucks. Still deciding on what lights to mount on it.

Black Horse Classic Pro

id vote rigid industries, baja designs, diode dynamics. none of those are friendly on the bank account but are worth every cent. every cheapo china light ive had stopped working in two years or less. all of the ones from the brands i mentioned are still going strong with no issues. i still have a soft spot for the old kc lights too.

I like the old school look. Basically, because i am old.

it looks terrible on your truck! as a favor to help you out you can remove it from the truck and box it up and ship it to me. i will take care of it for you. by putting it on my own black fx4 lol.

That's what she said.

I just stumbled across this today. I like how narrow it is for a supercab configuration. My mod list is vastly outgrowing my budget.

Those are not roll bars, your bed sides will crumple like paper. As others have indicated a real roll bar doesn't even use bed sides, all points of contact go into the bed to attach to the frame.

Should have had some show bars.

I’m thinking about installing a roll bar onto my 2020 Ranger X. Does anyone have any pics they can share?

Hi Bruce,

If you want true Roll Bars and not the light bars or chase racks, you will have to tie into the frame and it will be cross braced. There are threads on my built of the SCCA Ranger RaceTrucks where you can get an idea of the custom roll cage construction including frame outrigger brackets to tie into the narrow Ranger frame of the 4G trucks.
