Anyone know of a rollbar setup that can be used under a hardtop? Or if that’s even possible? Thanks |

I would think if the factory style bar fits under the soft top, it would also fit under a hard top? |

Maybe, wasn’t sure about mount points or clearance, was hoping someone else had tried it so I didn’t have to be the guinea pig. |

Call The Thing Shop-they have 5 point and 7 point bars. I thought they fit under the hard top, but could be wrong.

I have a 5 point from The Thing shop. Looks great and fits perfect under the hard top. |

The stock (likely dealer provided) 4 point roll bar in my '74 thing fits within a 1/4" of the fiberjet top on the front bar. I figured those folks used that bar for the design stage. _________________
