this might only be effective if you roll on a completely flat surface... once u on uneven ground then your body still gonna get dented - you might save the windshield and a/b/c pillars, but that's about it.

^^ the purpose of a roll cage is to prevent the roof caven in when it roll over thus saving the occupants. Or prevent major damages when say for example roll down a hill. Dents etc would be inevitable. Check Team Loco he maybe able to fabricate a roll cage for you.

thanks civic, I have a soft top so there's less body to damage there lighthammer, plus, I wanna add on some auxiliary lighting at the top, but I want that across the top of the van, and right now, there isnt really anything that would support it the way I want it to

chop saw, tape, grinder, welding equipment/materials, proper engineering spec metal bars, drill and bolts
+ basic sense of what you're doing and voila

body cage in pic looks neat tho

^^ yeah for a soft top / open top, a rollcage whether external or internalk makes sense... i find that when a jimny rolls over, it's difficult to hold it up properly using just ur head and neck, so maybe a rollcage is best for you (lol!)

lol, plus, my van already rolled with the previous owner, and I have no intention of holding back that van from going anywhere....even if I hadda drag the van on its side

If you going by team loco, they do very good work, BUT their prices are very hot. I wanted to build a simple rear bumper for my pickup consisting of 8 bends and they called a price of $4500. A length of schedule 40, 4" pipe costs about $800. And they not painting it. I going to end up building it myself.

you could check my mahadeo's in bamboo....can't miss it......there was a turbo down jimny that flipped in caroni for the trailblazers rally, i think that one is usually parked in front next to a hilux on kumho kl71's.....they were charging me around $2000-$2500 to fabricate a rear bumper for my jimny to facilitate the weight of a 33" spare trye
