my thoughts
As I was bored and surfing last night I wandered over to rockhard4x4 and noticed these:
Since this is what rockhard is using to attach their sport cages to the rollcage, my thought was purchase 4 or 6 and do some cutting and welding on some 13/4" OD schedule 40 or 80 pipe and then paint and/or cover with one of their padding kits.
What do you guys think?

I thought much along the same lines when I was considering options for my hardtop....only problem (for me) is that currently I'm welderless........... but think that's gonna be fixed here REAL soon.But a note on those parts: me-thinks you'll have to cut the roll bar padding to get 'em to work

added safety thought
As I was driving home (yes I get a LOT of thinking out of the way there). I was thinking about the additional safety a couple of bars would add incase of a roll over. I dont really think that rollbar is made to hangle much in a roll so bars put in well would also have the added benefit of adding safety.
But a note on those parts: me-thinks you'll have to cut the roll bar padding to get 'em to work
Cutting on the padding is not an issue to me. You see I work with several people who I would say qualify as professional tailors that will be able to reseam the ends for me.
Does make life a lot easier some times.
