Roll Bars

Dose anyone know if they make or sell add on kits to make a full roll cage using the stock roll bar? I need the front covered plus over my head. The stock bar is just fine I just want to add on to the front.

Take it out and start fresh, the stock one is only there for looks..

If you're selling the stock bars, would you be interested in selling the pads separately? If so, let me know.
Thanks

The OEM Bars can bring about $100.

Redline's Family Cage is now out - http://forum.ih8mud.com/%2A%2A-ih8mu...-cage-kit.html

and we are thinking about adding the cage i put into my Truck to our lineup.

JJS is an unknown quantity at this point
Isotel, what are those wheels off of? 80-series? What are the dimensions?

Back on topic, nice cage.
