Only if there was a way to make them blend in without standing out. I think I am leaning on not installing them. Ill probably just paint them to keep the corrosion from growing and throw em up on the pallet racks.

If my truck came with one, already installed, I would probably never think otherwise. But this thing is a pavement princess and will probably never see any mud. lol

EDIT to add: Beautiful truck! Love ochre squares.
I feel you on the rear roll bar. Over the years I have only seen 1 or 2 in person that has had front and rear gem roll bars. I like to keep everything OEM as much as possible with this Blazer. If it was a wheeler, that would be a different story, full cage all the way.

Thank you!
