Default Partial EXO

What do you think about a partial EXO for extreme wheeling?

To Protect the windshield frame from rollover?!The inside roll cages are nice but won't keep from destoying the windshield frame.

Just make sure not to cover your trail rated badge or you won't be able to wheel

That would be a great idea. I wonder if anyone has done anything like that.

yeah the only problem I see with that TORN is that if you were to roll it would buckle. Unless you're doing a complete exo, or at least tying that into the back somehow, I don't see how that would be enough to resist the force of rollover. I think its a good idea though, I just think you need to go all the way with it if you're going to do it or else it may not provide the protection you were expecting.

yeah that stinger on the front would never make it in east Texas either,way too many trees -- i think its just for looks too or maybe i'm wrong but that looks like some really small tubing -- but it does look cool
