As usual , I was thinking of something a bit less ...ummm.....complicated.
How would you ever wash that thing?
Forget about driving through the trees and brush too. That would gather a **** load of fire wood. Scratches are one thing, but you wouldn't want to have to limb your truck when you get home
I'd like to see a nicely done interior cage. Something that would save the drivers life, not the life of every body panel.
This would be a start, add another hoop over the rear seat a couple bars up top to tie them together, a couple braces here and there, some reinforcing plates for the floor boards....
As I say this , I'll have to back up a bit.
What about a bar built similar to Justin's then , one hoop attached to the sliders going over the top at the A or B post position with two bars run straight back tieing them together. That would leave a nice place to add a roof rack or mount the spare tire.
Messing with one exterior bar wouldn't be too bad.
And yes Justin's bar may be a "Show" bar or Light bar , but some of that is to cover the manufacturers "tail". I have seen more than one of those cheap chrome show bars be of great help in a rollover. I know of one guy it definately saved his life, when he rolled his Blazer at highway speed.
