I've decided that the tropical hard top and 3/4 safari rack that were original to my 109" just aren't ever going to get put back on (pm me if you're interested in the top, rack, sides or rear door). I bought this truck to drive with the top off...and so it shall be.
I've purchased a pickup cab for the winter, and am thinking of getting a bikini top and zip up door tops from our hosts for the rest of the year.
I'd like to add a single hoop roll bar for safety and to give me an anchor point for my seatbelts when using the bikini top. This picture of a bar fabricated some time ago by east coast rovers for a d110 pickup build caught my eye http://eastcoastrover.com/safaricage%20scans/110bar2.jpg but it was a custom build, done by hand, and ECR doesn't have any plans or dimensions on file.
I've provided the picture to my fabricator to work from. My question is two fold:
1. I can use the roll bar to support the back of the bikini top and act as the hoop, right? (assuming I install the capping over the door tops that keeps the sides of the bikini from flapping)
2. I want the bar to be about the same height as a hoop so it would be possible in the future to put on a full hoop set and canvas over the roll bar, similar to what you see in the picture. How tall does a hoop stand off of of the bed rails, or in other words, how tall should my roll bar be?
Thanks!!
