Modular roll bar

A modular roll bar that is designed to be mounted on the bed rails of a pickup truck, the modular roll bar comprising:

• a first bracket designed to be installed on a driver's side bed rail of the pickup truck, the first bracket including
• a first bracket section, having a first lower surface associated with the driver's side bed rail of the pickup truck, a first upper surface opposite the first lower surface and defining a first width corresponding to the distance that the first bracket section contacts the driver's side bed rail when installed,
• a first member that extends from the first upper surface first bracket section to a first bar interface, the first member extending from a first location on the first upper surface to a second location on the first upper surface, the distance between the first location and the second location defining a first length that corresponds to more than half of the first width, and
• a second member that extends from the first upper surface of first bracket at or near the second location to an area of first member at or near first bar interface;
• a second bracket designed to be installed on a passenger's side bed rail of a pickup truck, the second bracket including
• a second bracket section having a second lower surface associated with the passenger's side bed rail of the pickup truck, a second upper surface opposite the first lower surface and defining a second width corresponding to the distance that the second bracket section contacts the passenger's side bed rail when installed,
• a third member that extends from the second upper surface to a second bar interface, the third member extending from a third location on the second upper surface to a fourth location on the upper surface, the distance between the third location and the fourth location defining a second length that corresponds to more than half of the second width of second bracket;
• and
• a second member that extends from the second upper surface of first bracket at or near the second location to an area of first member at or near first bar interface;
• and
• a bar section removably connected to the first bracket at the first bar interface and removably connected to the second bracket at the second bar interface, the first bracket and second bracket designed so that the first bar interface and second bar interface are located at or near the upper surface of the cab of a pickup truck when the first bracket and second bracket are installed on the pickup truck.
