    What if I got a Diamondback DH Tonneau cover and the Vangaurd roll bar (with china invasion gunner grips) and mounted the Vangaurd on the Diamond back. It would be build so the roll bar would open with the front compartment of the tunneau cover. I would wire my lights through the bed with plenty of slack.

    I would think your roll bar would lose some of its strength if it's truly used for rollover protection . Now understanding that they are mainly for show or adding lights that is an interesting idea as to be able to fully use the cover. I like the idea, I wonder how heavy that would make the front part of the cover to open. If you used stronger struts in the cover it may be necessary to help hold the extra weight open
