I'd like to brainstorm with some of you about the possibilities of adding some roll over protection. These truck are heavy, and there's no way the roof is going to support the weight in a roll over situation. Mine weighs about 7300 lbs.

I'd also like a head ache rack for added safety. A roll bar in the cab is out of the question...roll bars + naked heads = BAD!!!

So, there are obviously the fake roll bars that mount in the beds of trucks. What makes these worthless? Material? Mounting? Both?

I think if you take the basic shape of one of these fake roll bars and modify the design, it could be made pretty functional, not take up much bed space, and look good.

Here's what I'm thinking. Basic truck roll bar, thin bars going across back window to act like a head ache rack, D rings or something similar in a few places for anchor points, and a bright rear facing light. The whole thing would be made out of proper tubing.

Of course thing would be worthless without proper mounting points. Would it not be good enough to mount it to the bed floor if it's reinforced underneath?

Any idea how much something like this would cost to have made? What would be nice is it'd be easy for the fabricator since he will have tons of room. Also, I would like it to be bolt in so I could remove it if I had to.

I know the front of the cab would still crush, but it's got to be better than nothing.

Let's hear some ideas and opinions...
