Hello All,

Does anyone know of any "bed bars" or "Light Bars" that are currently under development for the JT? Not really wanting a "bed rack" or "ladder rack" style as is currently the rage for the Gladiator.

I know, they are definitely not everyone's cup of tea, and the usual objections apply of: "those are no good for overlanding ", "they are just cosmetic and won't give any protection in a roll-over ", and of course, who could forget "the 80's called and wants their styling back! "... but what can I say... I like them. :giggle:

I like the style on the Scrambler concept bar -- even though it is really more of a roll bar, and its a one-off, no production plans, and I would prefer something mounted to the tops of the bed sides to preserve bed space and avoid drilling big holes in the bed:

The only other one I've seen is the Blackhorse:

Anyone know of any others that are being developed? I've seen a few from the bed rack manufacturers as well, but the "bolted up from sections of angle iron" look just isn't for me. Something constructed out of bent large-diameter tubing is what I'm liking.

Anyone else similarly afflicted?

I think DV8 or Fishbone might have one, and I think Fab Fours has one, or is working on one... I don't know... I was researching bumpers and it was a peripheral shot, so I can't remember who it was. But I remember seeing 1 or more making something similar to what you're looking for.

The new name for them is chase rack and there are a few out there. They do all kinda look the same and lack the old school bundle of snakes look.

Maximus-3 has one due out this year. I know it's been delayed due to shutdowns but I think they're still getting close. Search the forum and you'll find the thread.

Found it! Thanks! This looks great -- hope they get to the point that they can produce it & at a good price. :)
