Roll bar
Im looking for a Roll Bar that fits inside the bed of my 2005 F250 SD, I cant seem to find one anywhere? Anyone know where I can buy one?
It would be great if I can get it in Stainless Steel.
Thanks ~Gage~

Good luck, I hate them to the point we don't sell them anymore. I have only sold two or three, but each was thier own nightmare. Most of them didn't come with all the parts or the chrome was damaged, once that was fixed they still had to be installed and the customer usually had a bedliner.
Shop around, you should find a retailer/distributor that still stocks them.

Most companies have stopped makinf "rollbars" because of the protection the name implies. People think if they buy a rollbar it is tested to be strong enough to support eh weight in the event of a rollover. No aftermarket company wants to take that responsibilty anymore so they only sell "light bars" or "baja bars" or something similar. This way they say it can hold a light but aren't responsible in the case of a rollover. If you are looking for true rollover protection you are probably going to have to talk to some kind of a manufacturing shop with an analysis program to be able to check the design for its strength. This will not be cheap at all. If you are just looking for a place to mount lights there are many to choose from, let us know and we can probably steer you towards them.
