Scout and Jeep rollbar?

Postby bobracing » Thu Oct 25, 2012 1:28 pm

Will a stock CJ-7/YJ/TJ main bar fit a Scout II. I'd think it would be close on width but not sure about height.
Don't have either of them in front of me at this time and got someone that wants a "rollbar" with 3pt seatbelts.
It's easy enough to bend but the Jeep bar will have all the mounting pads and belts connections (maybe belts already connected). The down bars might need to be modified a bit and weld the bolted parts together.

Just kind of thinking out loud and if this would be a an easy fix to his problem. He only has a hardtop at this time.

Swing over and look at the bar in my Scout...Don't think the Jiip bar will fit.

I would think the jeep bar would be too narrow.
You can follow me.... but it's gonna hurt ;)

I was going to say too narrow but I think google proved me wrong...

This says Scout 51.5" wide http://www.binderplanet.com/forums/show ... hp?t=67173

This says Jeep 50.5" wide. It might work. http://www.jeepsunlimited.com/forums//s ... p?t=141823

Height looks close too.

You know the main YJ hoop is all funky where it bolts to the tub right?

Thanks for the info guys.
IIRC the bar narrows up at the bottom but still has a flat plate with a 90deg bend in the back.
I talked to him yesterday and we'll probably just bend one up.
