Cons....
Roll bars look like they are from the 70s-80s
Take up space
Have no function
Add no Roll over protection(looks only)
Pros.....

You could easily just buy/make a light bar for the top of your cab. If you really want rollover protection well then either I hope you've got a few extra pesos in your pocket or you're real comfy with a hot wrench.

I think grizzly is out of business now, I called summit the other day about a set for a 8ft bed in stainless steel from go rinio. he gave me a price of 1175.00 There is a company in florida called Truckrollbar.com They make "REAL" rollbars, not "bed bars", they don't come in chrome or stainless though.

Truckrollbar.com It's been awhile since I was there but I belive I remember reading that their rollbars are suspossed to be functional, not only for looks. The way I took it was that their bars could withstand a roll over. again not sure, it's been awhile since I read it....hope i haven't misled anybody.

unless the roll bar bolts to the frame it's not functional.just being bolted to the box it will rip the box off in a rollover.real roll bars/cages are always secured to the frame or structural members or a vehicle.
if you down load truck roll bar catalog it has written in big red letters not intended for roll over protection.

my truck has a roll bar with lights in it, I don't mind the look, but I would prefer the full use of my bed. If it actually would offer protection in a roll over then I would probably keep it, but I will be building a proper exoskeleton at some point for my truck anyways.
