Re: photos of our trucks with light/roll bars
From the front of the truck? Yeah, but all you can really see is the lights...The top of the roll bar comes about an inch above the roof.

Re: photos of our trucks with light/roll bars
I know they are way "out", but I still love them. I think they really need to be double/single to look cool. Triple/double is really cool, but takes up a lot more space and I think would create blind spots.
I like chrome but I've seen some powder coated white that looked awesome. Used to be a show truck in a bunch of magazines back in the 80s called Big Dummy, or I think Big Dummy II. Had all kinds of white rollbars and the coolest custom tube bumpers, welded the full length with no gap between. I'm gonna go look for pictures.

Re: photos of our trucks with light/roll bars
well that was a fail. All I found with a google and yahoo seach was pictures of the truck after it had graduated from a street legal show truck that was in all the magazines, into a full-on monster truck. Pretty sure the truck Iremembered was Big Dummy II. There was a III and a IV, one version had a giant hydraulic scissor lift that picked the body up about another ten feet. But, all the monster truck photos show the truck with a cap on it, and none of the cool tube bumpers I remembered.

Re: photos of our trucks with light/roll bars
+1, if the roll bar on mine didn't look so sweet, I never would have even looked at the truck, lol. Absolutely love them.

Re: photos of our trucks with light/roll bars
I remember all the magazine trucks had rows of KC lights on the rollbars, and it got more extreme with double and triple tiered racks just to add even more lights. And of course you wouldn't want to be accused of being a poser, so in at least one picture the lights would be on, to show that they were all wired up and functional. Probably burned up some alternators.

Re: photos of our trucks with light/roll bars
tried to find a picture of an 80s showtruck with too many lights, but they were pretty much pre-internet. Found this one, doesn't have dozens of lights but you get my point. This is what I was looking at and drooling over, and tacking up on my bedroom walls when I was about 13.

I did consider putting a double single in mine, just to keep with the period of the truck, but I ended up getting another backrack instead. Needed someplace to mount my Edge lightbar. Love the Suburban above, especially the Trans Am style hoodscoop, never seen one like that. I don't see any rollbar in it though, is it inside? ;> ;>

Re: photos of our trucks with light/roll bars
How goofy was it back in the 80s when everyone had excessive offroad lighting, as if they were afraid of the dark, but then they'd put headlight covers over their headlights??

Re: photos of our trucks with light/roll bars
I agree that on newer trucks they look like the dog's breakfast, but on square bodies they just fit well.
