Hey everyone. I've been wanting to put some roll bars with KC daylighters on my 2011 FX4 Supercab. I really like the look and its somthing that you don't see on to many trucks these days.

I've been thinking about something like this.
M350FJ-DS

I'm pretty specific about how I want them to look...Does anyone have any idea about what I should expect to pay if I have to have them custom made for my truck?

Thanks everyone!

 

I'd do it...but couldn't get in my garage if I did. That would probably look bad-***.

 

You don't see them for a reason... they're a pain and they take up a lot of bed space. Put a nice front-end replacement on (Ranch Hand, Road Armor, etc.) and add some Rigid LED lighting...

 

Honestly I don't haul that much with my truck...Its really just my daily driver...Anything I do haul is normally pretty small and I don't see any reason it wouldn't fit between the roll bars in the bed.

I'm not really a big fan of the whole ranchand thing...I might at the most get a nice pushbar to mount on my front bumper, but I don't see any need to do anything else.

 

Go for it! I like the look, but I grew up with that also. Dare to be different- its your truck

 

For me roll bars are for people that actually do serious 4 wheeling and have the potential to roll their truck. Other than that...IMO roll bars ascetically went out in the 80's. The row of KC lights thing I was never a fan of and if I wanted to put some brighter lights on I can always buy the light bar for the front bumper.

 

It was cool on Bigfoot back in the day... I hate them on anything else though.

 

I like the look for the older trucks. I think it will look good on your truck! post up pics when your done and who knows you just might bring them back in style!

 

I haven't seen them in a while either. I would think you'll be into them for about $1,000 if you have someone fab up a custom set. I'm with Tim, dare to be different and ignore the majority. Post up pics of the final product.

 

Let's be clear: They are NOT "roll bars". They are simply light mounts and just another doo-dad for looks. From the catalog listed above by the OP:

"
THESE PRODUCTS ARE NOT DESIGNED FOR NOR INTENDED FOR ROLLOVER / ROLL CAGE PROTECTION. "

 

Hmm..well ok to each their own! One thing I can say about them is that it is nice that they at least bent out the tubing to not block as much of the rear glass view. I am also wondering how much of the light will be blocked with a super cab? Meaning you would have to point the lights further up the road than you would with a regular cab, might not really matter just wondering.

 

Subscribed. Wanna see what one will look like. It is your truck do what you want with it.

 

I was thinking something like this for my truck...especially since it is small and sleek looking. They are expensive made by Rigid...but put out some incredible light! I would probably like the 20" bar and some people have even mounted them in the grille. They also have spot and flood condo bars (flood for the outer lights and spot towards the center!) Also check out the torture video...crazy tough lights!

I have a 20" Rigid clamp mounted to the top bar of my Ranch Hand front end replacement. They don't have the long distance punch of, let's say, a KC Daylighter, but they are quite sufficient and much easier to mount. They aren't cheap, either.

 

Well that was just an example of something that was kind of close to what I'm looking for. I figure to get excatly what I want I'll have to have something custom made.

But my trucks honestly never in any danger of rolling over...Like I said, its my daily driver. I think the biggest risk my truck ever has of rolling over is when it snows and I have a higer risk of skidding into the ditch or something like that.

The main reason I want to add roll bars or ''light bars'' is simply because I like the look of them. I spent my childhood watching oldschool monster trucks from the late 1980's and early 1990s, and have always been a fan of the look they add to a truck.

For me it would nothing more than asthetics.
