+1. and I was thinking, you said that you were looking for a top, I would suggest talking to someone who does canvas work for boats. I know on one of my boats, there is a channel that you slide a round flexible dowel into, the dowel is attached to the canvas and it provides a water tight barrier. You could most likely get a top made in 4 sections, Top, Sides, and Back. They could zip together at the meeting edges with a large flap on the outside of the Top section and a flap on the inside from the meeting sections. I made a new cover for my boat and slid thin strips of plastic into the flaps and made them very stiff, but keeps the water out really well.

Thanks, guys! Glad you all like it!

It is a truck light bar, my old h.s. auto shop teacher gave it to me yesterday and I just tacked it in quickly to see where I want it. Will this thing do me any good in a roll? Or should I get something stronger?

Sent you a pm, let me know if that works. They are straight, no cracks, just a little surface rust, coming from a truck that I bought in Pacifica. I can send pics if you like.

IF thats a real light, thin walled, "Light Bar" It will do you absolutely no good in a rollover. If it has some mass to it and has at least a 3/8" side wall it may help. Most of the time, a design like that is only good for show. Also when you instal a cage or rollbar, unless you attach it to the frame its weakest link is the sheet metal that its attached to. In other words, the sheet metal will tear and your SOL.

Took the Bronco for a drive a drive today, and had to pull over to take a poser pic or two... Newly installed (but not new) bumpers and lights.
