If you want to chop top and put a cage/ roll bar into your rig think cage. Remember that tubing is the way to go. If you can afford DOM (seamless) tubing that is the best stuff. If not ERW (welded seam) works well.

Get in touch with me and we can maybe do something for your cage. I have the welder, bender, plasma cutter and other things to make the cage. Your labor and a little to cover the cost of wire, gas etc is the only cost. Plus you buy the materials. Later

Yup the anexa something or other chat room. I was on the old fsj-list thingy for about 2 years before I found the board here. I quit about the time there was that big stink and the list split and some folks went to new list. I left for a weekend and came back and had like 200 e-mails in my in box from that. LOL

I remember that back then, I couldn't download my e-mail fast enough to keep up. There were a lot of grouchy people on the list back then. It was one of the reasons I left, you just never knew when someone would fly off the handle and the old "pee stompin" boots would come out.

Last, do consider your intended use for the vehicle. I drove 1000 miles (round trip) in my chop top on a wheelin' trip last weekend. It snowed on my way back. I was driving in 32 degree weather at 55mph, which probably made it more like -10degrees...LOL. I wish I had had my hard top and working heater then! Heck, I would have settled for some ski pants, I was frozen....[QB]

Yep, It's real nice having that full soft top. [img]tongue.gif[/img] The Beast makes so much heat that you have to drive it around with a window down in the cold with the heater on. Other wise it turns into a sauna in there.
