i am planning to dress up my strada for a lil bit, pang porma lang, nothing to do with load safety o whatsoever, which do you think mas ok sa likod ng pick up, roll bar or campershell? or with nothing at all?

it depends. how will you be using your rear cab more often? do you hull lots of stuff but need protection from weather and being stolen? Get a campershell. Kung safety from roll-overs (if and I mean if, you do roll over) where you wouldn't want to get squashed, then by all means get a rollbar. Both have their aesthetic advantages.
OT: bro sama ka sa Pickup club. hanapin mo sa diesels.![]()
kung sa mas maporma, i'd go with the roll bar. IMO, medyo nakakaiba ng porma yung camper shell, plus nakakabawas ng hauling capacity ng matatangkad na gamit. i'd also consider a Rollertop instead of the two, this way, you can safely haul big and tall stuff, and store whatever can fit the bed when the roller top is shut, and your truck will still have the pick up truck look.
If it were me, I'd go with neither, since the Strada has a rather small cargo bed as it is, and I need all the usable space I can get.
Camper shell - pointless. If I wanted the SUV look, then I should have gotten a real SUV in the first place, not a pickup.
Roll bar - unless I'm going off-roading and I need something to attach the additional lights to. Otherwise, assuming I have the good sense not to drive my rig like a sports car, there's really no danger of rollovers. Besides, I can think of a more devious use for a roll bar on a pickup truck, but then the prudes might give me the evil eye.

I'll go for roll bar chief. Mababawasan pagka macho look ng strada mo. But like others said, it depends on what purpose will your strada serve you.![]()
nothing at all kasi pag binenta mo naman yan, parang bonus na lang. 50k up din ang campershell.
rollbars will just get in the way if you carry a rubber bed or big screen TV box on the back container.
neither sakin.
saklin lang po yun.
dont like the camper shell cover. when we got the pickup, we want to maintain it looking like a pickup.
rollbars naman would take up some more space.
thats why we stick with the roll-on covers, maintained the look of the pickup and also made the rear bed protected.
Roll bars - pang proma. pang offroad. support para sa malaking gamit, para may pwede pagtalian. pwede lagyan nang foglamps. pero kung mag lalaga mas maganda yung orig.
Campershell - ok naman kasi safe ang mga gamit. for me, kaya nga pick up kasi para sa mga heavy duty. bumili ka pa nang pick-up kung lalagyan mo rin lang nang campers diba, mas mabuti nag-SUV ka na lang, hehehe. Better yung roll-up na lang, kaysa campers, much better. maya biglaan nag sakay ka nang ref, hinde kaisya pag may campers...
Meaning nang pick-up - naka kotse ka na naka truck ka pa...
Yung Bagong klase na roolbar maganda tapos lagyan mo ng Roll-up.
Pangit yung Camper Shell, Mag mumukhang Caro ng Patay ang Rig mo sir.
roller-up plus roll bar good combination. or kahit roller-up lang puede na. wag lang camper shell. dami ng ng bumili ng camper shell but in the end tinanggal din nila. madali pang masira ung swing-type door nito..
Neither...
The OE campershell of the Strada (from the special edition variant) does look good though.
I'd rather spend my money on some ARB bumpers.![]()
neither. Mas malinis tignan kung flat cover like roller up and the likes.
*shameless plug : Im selling my Gatorcab bedcover, repainted with DuPont, color white.![]()
Me, I went for the roll bar and utility box. I need something to tie down things to and protect the truck's roof should I need to haul tall or long items such as lumber. The utility box can secure your things tho limited lang nga. Anyway, the roll bar and utility box are easy to disassemble once you need to take up the whole cargo space.
guys thanks a lot sa comments nyo, we have decided na roll bar nalang ilagay, para at least kahit matataas na gamit pwedeng makarga and besides di naman kami naghahakot palagi ng gamit. thanks again to all!!
