Interesting concept, but I would like to see how the "roll bar" is tied into the body structure, doubt that system will hold up the weight of the Ex if it should roll being used for what the truck looks like it should be used for

Looks like the answer to yesterdays' woody beach wagon. You would be "pimpin" on the beach with that.

What's the point of that? Might as well get an F250 or F350...I feel sorry for that truck.

Can you imagine what Lightning McQueen or Mater would say to him as he was passing through Radiator Springs?

I think it looks pretty awesome. Not saying I'd want it for a daily driver. But for a toy to take the family camping. Beach trips. Toss in some mild wheeling. It would be sweet.

The problem would be having to answer all the questions everytime you stopped for gas. "What the heck is that thing?"

If nothing else it will cost a fortune to keep the electrical parts in the doors working... Think rain!!! It would only be useful in very limited parts of the country.

Good tour mobile - reminds me of the ones around my area which do beach tours to see the wild horses in Corolla. Not sure I'd trust that 'cage' for any protection.

WOW! That is awesome. I love it. When mine hits 500k, I may do that. As long as its a legit roll bar and you get a quality top made for it, which would cost quite a bit, it would be awesome.
