The biggest problem with most the so called roll bar that they are not true roll bars, they are light bars.
A true roll bar will need to be attached to the frame and be built from at least 1/4 walled tubing.
The roll bar needs to support the truck when and if you roll the truck.
So the question should be who'd you think of a Sport/Light Bar... ?
I think they can look good but don't rely on them for protection.

I like them on some 80's trucks. BTTF Yota,old lifted chevys and the like. You need a newer age looking one to fit the newer gen trucks.

My first Ranger was an 88 STX 4x std cab short box, came with a Sport Bar with disclaimers about expecting it to support the truck, funny things you remember, but it looked good, that’s all I cared about.
Lights mounted up top, four KC DayLighters… 150 watts each and home made antenna mounts, 2 meter Amateur Radio and the good old boys CB, needed that fur sur.
The “Roll” Bars do add a look that is different than the other trucks, most with some sort of Back Rack.
Put it in, see what it looks like and if it works for you then it's the “80’s thing” for you.
