Chopping Top Off

Hey,

Is that...structurally safe? I heard if it's unibody, then it's kinda bad. Would I encounter any such problems by cutting the back top off of my Bronco II and adding a roll bar?

Thanks. Oh yeah, and anyone know anything about soft tops, what fits, etc?

B2s aren't unibody, but you do reduce the structural integrity of the roof when you chop. A roll cage is a good idea if you're considering doing a chop. Make sure you post pics of your truck when it's done!

You'll also need to get a tube bender if you want to do it yourself. Another option would be to get a premade one from a place like Jegs - but with one of them, you really can't customize at all.
