new rollbar on the YJ

story behind this… we started trying to take the bolts out, 16 total, and noticed they were all going to be a real pain. so of course, my mind starts thinking "go buy a cutting wheel" cause thats what I do. I always expect the worse. so he says, lets just see what we can figure out… well, with 1 2x4, a pry-bar and me standing on them we were about to get every last booger out. got the other one in place, bolted the front to bars to hold it away from the windshield and called it a day. after a few minutes of it being in place, the talk of Rhino Lining the whole thing began.. so not too sure I will bolt this up quite yet. we will see.. currently I have no carpet and it is a little hot in there. but also, there are many holes that people made over the years for whatever. (CB mounts, this that and the other) would Rhino Lining this make it cooler? also I would cover the holes before lining it to keep that extra heat out. anyways, advise is appreciated on that issue. here are some progress pics.
I loved the way this looks...
admiring..
finally finished
now I have to wait for the guy to find the Sound Bar and Bikini Top that goes with the deal. will be a lot happier once that arrives.

If you don't fight for the trails, there won't be any trails to fight for.

Yeah make sure you do leave the drain holes. If you choose to go larger than stock make sure you have a plug because water could shoot up them when you hit a water hole.
I like the no rollbar look.

see if the guys who sold you those parts got some drian plugs so you can use the original holes without drilling new ones.

as far as the heat, I was thinking a heat blanket underneath the tub in between the tranny and tub. then hurculine it and be done. I dont see carpet being installed on this anytime soon. maybe later in life, when I have AC and new top that will be an option.

yeah i agree no carpet on a jeep! yeah a heat blanket sounds like a good option but let me ask you... what are your priorities besides going to corbett ASAP?
i know u got the gas tank, brake booster what else mechanical wise?

with all the water wheeling you do keep it without carpets because water and carpets get very messy.
