Default Roll Bar Identification

This is likely a total noob question (I've only been hanging around here for a few months). At the bottom of the posts (online not from a mobile app) I see this bad-ass orange JK. I've added the pic below for those viewing on a mobile device. Can anyone tell me what's up with the CJ-like roll bar on this Jeep? Is that an after market product or was this a custom fab job? I tried several search terms but couldn't come up with anything. Sorry if this is very common knowledge and I'm just being an idiot but I'm very curious about this and want to put it in my "future mod wish list". Thanks.

I think that's the Jeep Lower Forty concept vehicle. It's pretty rad. I also like that roll bar, but I'm pretty sure it's a custom piece by Jeep just for that concept. All the excerpts from the news articles are calling it an "all new roll cage integrated into the body."

On the plus side, if you're willing to shell up for it, I'm sure there's some off road/custom fab shops that could easily get a similar roll cage in your Jeep. I remember a few projects on here that had some similar roll cages made. Google "jeep JK truck" and you should be able to find some shops with projects that you might like.

I was thinking it could be the Lower 40 as well. Perhaps this orange model is an older or newer version because in the other photos I've seen of that concept, the angled roll bar pieces are flush with the top when they meet up. On this pic of the orange Jeep, that rear piece looks to be offset a little and they meet up lower than the top of the pillar which gives it that old school look. At any rate, thanks for the reply and the tip for the fab shop! Cheers.
