Cutting that much of the roof off totally eliminates the structural integrity of the roof. You would most definitly want to install a roll cage in the jeep or kiss your @$$ goodbye in the event of a rollover.

no but that is bad. I like it. I think if you suported the back right you wouldnt need a cage or put one piece of tubing from the floor all around the roof and back to the other floor. That guy went over board on the roll cage i think.
