So i been thinking about staring my inside roll cage, and putting in some bucket seats. But with the two door if i put some bars right behind the front seats for the roll cage do you think people would have a hard time getting back there didnt know if anyone had pictures of this or a comment on how to go about this

Also mabe if someone has a way to put fixed bucket seats in, while poeple can still get in the back?

Just make em get in from the tailgate...

yeah i say people will get in just fine if there is a bar there
might have to climb and duck an obsticle but its worth it

they could always crawl over the seats and go betweeen them over the center console if need be

Well I've rolled a 4 door XJ and was very impressed on how the roof held up. The A pillars bent but the B pillars held shape pretty well. But on a 2 door the B pillar is further back, so I'd want a roll bar too.

You would be screwed if you were in an exploder and that happened.... Compare to this ! He rolled 4 times ! The gen of explorer after this was much worse in rollovers. Blazer pulled out in front of him.

He survived without a scratch but passenger was bleeding bad and needed a lot of stitches...

Edit:Grand Cherokee and Isuzu Rodeo and Blazer are just as bad if not worse then any Explorer, especially the Grand.

Yea the following weekend I heard of an accident in NJ on I95 and another in NC on I95 where Explorers rolled over and had fatalities. Mine was also on I95 but in CT. What scared me more than rolling over was being stuck inside upside down in the passing lane on a trucking route north of NYC at 2:30am. Smelling wires burning and having cars and trucks swerving around me waiting to to be hit again... scary scary scary. The seat belt would not un latch, I had a bruise across my chest from it. Nobody stopped for like 10+ minutes to help me... and they were afraid to touch me. Finally 10 minutes after they called the police a state trooper came, who did not want to get me out until paramedics came, but I assured him I was fine. He cut my seat belt and I crawled out the window on my own. The girl who hit me from behind kept going but broke down eventually down the road. I was going 55 when I rolled and skidded on my roof for probably 50 feet or so... so long it wore holes through the metal in some spots.

Damn... They look alot bigger in that picture. I thought they were 35s. But hate to see you rolled it... Good luck finding another one.

Bimmer9938

Probably cause the wheel wells were never cut up.

Did the girl who hit you get prosecuted? In the UK she'd be done for "leaving the scene of an accident" I'm guessing there's a similar law in the USA?
