Hi all - I'm looking for an OEM roll bar for a '77 FJ40. I don't actually need the L shaped bars, just the larger vertical bar and brackets, as I'm trying to replicate what I've seen others do in the below pics. Thanks!

Me too, but on the left coast - most are way to overpriced for what we want to do with it. I've got a family top from Dirt Road waiting for me to figure this out.
There's also another design I liked below -

Seriously – everything I've seen looks rusted out and north of a grand. I have a bench in the back and want to install 3-point seat belts for the kiddos, so that kickout tube probably wouldn't work for me, but it looks perfect for a family top. Good luck!

I am in the same boat for the kiddo- I just picked up a used metal tech front kit (Off Road Parts & Accessories | Metal Tech 4x4), trying to find an option for the back. Ideally with the soft top off I could strap down paddle boards to the top.

Is that a kit or a custom job for the rear bolt on crosspiece?

It's a custom bar option from another Mud member. He took it to a welding shop and had them design what he wanted -
**not for added safety just for the family soft top**
