the regular roll bar in the CJ is 2", chrome molly is very strong and very expensive. I would think 2" or maybe 1.5 " .120 wall would help keep your face off the asphalt. For the soft top, check out Sunbrella, it is used for boat tops.![Grin :D :D](/community/smilies/biggrin.gif)

Got a little work done today. Welded on the body mounts. Finished separating the tub. Removed the rear end and springs from the old frame, just need to drill some holes in the brackets and get some new bolts. A couple of the old ones were worn about 1/3 through. Going to borrow a cherry picker this week to pull the motor so I can take off the front suspension.
Getting a little ahead of myself...thinking about my new rollbar. What is the min size tubing that can be used? This jeep is not going to be hard core wheeled but I would like it safe enough in a crash on the highway. Also, do they make waterproof canvas, for when I make my own soft top?
