No flaming please. Kinda interested in seeing this. Now was it a Yj style or later style roll bar? Either way make sure to use good plate to attach it to the floor.

Might keep roof from collapseing down completely in case rollover happens
wont provide much if any benefit by itsself[/quote]If done properly bolted thru subframe its better than nothing
That depends on if your in the roll over or watch it happen...

Im using a roll bar from a police partition for the xj. 1/4"x1.5"OD. Its welded to a plate and bolted down. Perfect fit too! I'll be watching this. What kind of thickness is the bar as im not familiar with yj's...

Damn ya'll, it's better than nothing.
Seems like if Billy Bob didn't do 15 years ago & everyone said "good mod",it's a stupid idea & a waste of time,money,beer,..............
He hasn't even put it in 1/2 azz yet.Cut him some slack.Untill then, shut up,sit down & enjoy the show.
Dare to be different &.....
Merry Christmas.
