Rear Hoop - using 'stock' rollbar

Not wanting to hijack the other thread, I decided to make a new one...

Saw this over at the Southern Jeeps site, and thought it was a cool, cheap way to get a "family cage" if you don't have a tube bender. This uses one of the stock single-hoop rollbars from an early Jeep.

From user "Patrick Bennett":

And here are pictures:

Thats a good idea.
I thought about the front cage kits for the back hoop as well. This ones much cheaper to do.
May need to go pay a visit to a junk yard since I sold the one out of the parts Jeep.

 

very good idea. The only thing I would suggest would be a bit more triangulation to keep the cage from shearing.

 

:? and i have another factory roll bar too. man i could have had this job done LLLOONNNGGG ago for nuthin.

 

Great idea!!! I'll keep my eyes op[en for a stock bar.

 

that's what i was going to do... just one post too late to pick up the goods. small world with you guys roaming over to the southern jeeps site lately.

 

Shhhhhhhh!

Are Stock bars tube or Pipe

 

Zactly what I was planning to do, got the cage and the extra bar sitting here keeping the sun from hitting the grass

 

I did the same thing to my 71 years back, gotta keep the kiddies safe. Anyway I took the "bikini top" to an auto upholstery shop and had them add enough material to cover the rear as well. Worked out pretty good.
