I saw a post on Instagram a couple of days ago featuring a mint-colored Scout with an interesting roll bar setup. In the comments, the poster mentioned he’d used a Jeep TJ rollbar as a base, cut it down, fabbed his own mounting plates, and made it all work. I commented that I would love to see more pictures of his setup, and it turns out he’s actually on the Binder Planet in a thread I’ve looked at before. He bought the whole cage two years ago for $100<\/a> and had the whole thing mocked up<\/a> a month later.<\/p>\n

What I like about it is that it’s a square cage that surrounds the passenger area\u2014the rear of the cage fits over the rear seat<\/a> so there’s more protection, and the whole thing has built-in shoulder belts. I like the look of it<\/a>, and I love the fact that there are a ton of aftermarket products<\/a> for the TJ bars\u2014padding, speaker bars, new belts, and lights.<\/p>\n

Our local junkyard has a Wrangler in stock every once in a while, and “large rollbars” are listed at $100.<\/p>\n

I really think I’m going to be purchasing a welder this year…<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
