drase Posted January 27, 2011 Posted January 27, 2011 Are there any other truck's roll bars that will fit in the MJ? I have read that the Dodge Dakota's will fit, is it some specific years?
freakjeep93 Posted January 27, 2011 Posted January 27, 2011 from what ive heard most small truck roobars will "fit" but most of them will ne a bit of modification to mount correctly
johnj92131 Posted January 27, 2011 Posted January 27, 2011 Just another stupid question that is off topic. Do factory (or other wise) roll bars provide any real "protection". Or are they just for looks? Ask this because I do NOT take my truck off road or on any trails, etc. I don't like rolling cars or trucks.
btm24 Posted January 27, 2011 Posted January 27, 2011 I think that its more for looks then any thing else Brandon

The accessory guide actually calls them "Sport Bars" not Roll Bars.
btm24 Posted January 27, 2011 Posted January 27, 2011 OMG! I have one of them that I picked up like two weeks ago :clapping: Just makes you wish you could pick some of the things you want out of the book huh? Brandon
89er Posted January 27, 2011 Posted January 27, 2011 Just picked up a used toyota tocoma roll bar yesterday. It will need to be fit to the wheel wells and is about 2 inches narrow than a stock bar. I spent a yr looking for a factory bar in n Fl with no luck. It looks good sitting in the bed now and wil install this week end. Probably will need to drop gas tank and who knows what else. The height is even with the roof. When I start my build I'll post pics. Just been aquiring all the parts for a year. Still need my bucket seats which have turned in to a nightmare. Nice to have a member in Fl :cheers:

Ask this because I do NOT take my truck off road or on any trails, etc. I don't like rolling cars or trucks. I believe the original factory bars added SOME protection. They actually have plates under the bed that attach the rollbar to the unibody.

89eliminator Posted August 4, 2013 Posted August 4, 2013 i have a roll bar out of a first gen dodge dakota. they are about 3" too wide and the wheel well supports are at the wrong angle so the mounts need to be cut and welded at a bigger angle.
GirsMJ86 Posted August 4, 2013 Posted August 4, 2013 The factory bar has brackets and such that bolt everything up rather than it just bolting to the bed. So I'd wager they add some protection, more than if if it wasn't there or was only attached to the bed. My truck is in another town or I'd snap some pics from underneath.
jimoshel Posted August 4, 2013 Posted August 4, 2013 I picked up a '89 S10 about a year ago.Had the factory roll bar on it. Not sure how much it would have helped in a roll over. It was fastened to the bed with 4 1"X3/8" sheet metal screws. One on each corner.
fiatslug87 Posted August 4, 2013 Posted August 4, 2013 interested in the accessories guide, is there a link i could check it out at? Redwolf PM an email address and I can send a PDF of the accessories guide, I also have the '88 Comanche brochure if you're interested.This goes for anyone that wants them.
Stacks Posted August 4, 2013 Posted August 4, 2013 Here's a link to a photo in my build thread that shows the factory frame tie in bracket. http://comancheclub.com/topic/33955-89-mj-work-truckdd-to-dd-and-4-wheeling-whenever/page-2
