Pop quiz on rollpans...

[zeitgeist57]

For a pickup truck:

1) Rollpans look cool. Streamline the back of a truck, nice custom treatment.

2) Only looks OK if the truck is slammed to the ground.

3) Forget rollpans! Just remove the rear bumper and bolt the plate to the bed lip.

4) Rollpans are dumb. Leave the stock bumper on.

Option 4 for your truck

4.

Rollpans are cool on the right truck, rollpans give no protection what so ever, you do not need one.

[Rocky31186]

Depends on the body style of truck. My ram looked good. Older trucks not so much.

Was nice to still be able to tow, but I missed being able to step on the back bumper to get k

The bed.

#2 is the only acceptable situation for a rollpan.

I second this.

[CRed05]

I don't dislike them, but I don't like them enough to put them on.

I had a lowered S10 Xtreme with a rollpan, and it looked great. I have an older S10 lowered, with a stock bumper, and it looks great.

 

Depends on the truck, but more often than not I prefer a stock bumper

option 2

Poll created.

[Rocky31186]

The truck doesn't have to be slammed to the ground for a roll pan to look right.

 

But I choose 2 because it has to be the right body style truck.

 

 

Stock bumper would probably look best on older trucks.

Option 5. Ranch style bumpers front and rear.

If there is more than 4" of clearance between the ground and roll pan at ride height then that's just silly and absurd.

[Scotty2Hotty]

If you go rollpan go steel and weld the seams in the corners.

Who picked #3

[Xyster101]

They make a truck look unfinished, like you bought it without a bumper. My Toyota truck had no bumper and looked silly, graded there was a big open area too.

he would have more in bumpers then the cost of the truck.
