Family Style Roll Bar Modification (1 Viewer)

[69FJ40NJ]

I have a family style roll cage. Since I am not planning on hard core off roading, maybe some trail riding thru the pine barrens. Do you see a problem cutting off the front section and leaving everything from the main hoop back?

Or should I look for a stock roll bar?

Thanks

Everyone seems to always think roll cages/bars are only for off-roading. More accidents happen on the road and especially with a soft top, more protection is always better than less.

I am putting on a hard top and sides. I am a taller guy and its a PIA to get in and out. The soft top is going up for sale soon.

What's your height have to do with the roll bar? I might not cut the cage, maybe sell it and buy a more traditional roll bar or better designed cage. . The back 1/2 of the cage looks like a strange design. I use the outside over head bar from A to B pillar to pull myself up and over to the seat. Your bar in that location looks a little to far inboard. Is it a homemade cage? What's the welds look like? I'm quite tall too.

I think its a homemade cage. The front bars make it hard to get in and out of. I guess I will look for a roll bar, if I get to the point where I need it, maybe then I will decide if I cut the front off and keep the rear.

As I tall guy I feel your pain. That's a weird cage that X's in the back but has not nothing supporting those bends from any side loading. Maybe just start over? The Metal Tech kit looks closer to factory style
