Outer Limits 4x4 Board

Anyone got a roll bar on their MQ/MK with a hard top/soft top? I'm asking because I'm looking into making a roll bar up but would also like to keep the hard top I have at the moment.

I'm also looking at making a soft top but I'm a little stumped when it comes to attaching it across the roof. If anyone has pics they could send me that would be great

Long story short, I want a roll bar but I still want to be able to fit and secure a hard top as well as a soft top.

Thanks gurus

I had a roll bar on my MQ. It was more to hold up the roof cage however it still would have provided some protection in the event of a roll. I don't have any from the inside; however these pics should give you an idea on what it looked like.

By the look of the pics it dosn't look like there have been any mods to the canopy.

I have the same canopy on mine, but I'm really after pics of the inside and how the soft top attaches.

Thanks anyway. nice rig.

Screwy, Dr Frankenstine and Kingy (I think) amongst others have soft-tops, I am looking into it too and would like to fit it to be able to retain the hardtop when I want to. I don't think it would be hard, in fact I reckon it'd be a hell of a lot easier than most cars. Start it up near the A-pillar, two coming down the B pillars. What I was thinking of then was having it run along the roof for a couple of feet until it is behind the rear seat then have it sloped down to near the bottom of the tailgate from there (i.e from about halfway along the canopy). I like the idea of being able to have 4 people in the car still, and the rollcage I'm thinking about should accomodate 4 people whether it's hardtop, softop on or softop off.

mine



Ah the old car

I'll get around to stripping it one day

4130warrior thats EXACTLY what i want is to be able to have 4 people in the car no matter what. i was thinking alloy in bout 90-100mm pipe i've been looking for somewhere to get it done but no-one knows what i want or don't do that sort of stuff. but anyways just keep looking i suppose.

Yeah my mate who is a good welder wants to build one for his shorty 40 too so we're going to build 2 ourselves. Where abouts are you, it would be dead simple to knock up another carbon copy if ya wanna give us a hand probably not for a month or two yet tho

i'm in the north side of brissy. that would be great if i could lend a hand to get a good roll bar. even if you could send me a set of plans when done if your not near me and i could get one made.

Yeah there was, 2 holes in the roof to allow the bolts through, the below pic shows this.

I like Big Red Toy's set up as I used mine more for carrying 2 people than 4.
