No... it’s just welded into the cutoff back of the soft-top body to try and replicate the angle of the top of the rear quarter window...

Ok so it's into the bodies existing rops structure. Guess you could always have a short vertical up to halo tie it all together?

Not sure how that would work (aesthetically for me)...

What’s a rops by the way? :) Roof? Yes, the diagonal is into the body’s original soft-top hoop, which is braced with big X tubes... that should be sufficient for a bit of greenlaning? :)

Roll over protection system. Yeah I can see it would start to look at bit fussy and for none competition use it's as much about aesthetics as anything.

Looking good Dave! It's at that stage in the build where it resembles the finished product and the end is in sight by the looks of it.
