Does anyone make a roll bar with some lean?

[Sheehanigans]

The weather is here, so it's time to get topless.

I had a typical 6 point non-family cage, but I hit my head on the main hoop often enough and sold it out of frustration. Figured it would do more harm than good in a typical 'use-case'. The weather is nice enough now that I'm fully topless in the 68 with no window frames. It's great, but I can see summer sun coming and yearn for a bikini top to hide under. That brings me back to looking for a roll bar, but all the ones I see are straight up, over, and straight down. That puts the crossover right where my noggin is.

I'm looking for one where the main hoop is bent back a bit like the full cages are doing these days, but just with regular down bars to the rear corners instead of the rear family crossover bar. Does anyone make one like that? Or who in the bronco world may do one custom?

Something where the main hoop is bent back like Tom's 4pt family cage (rear only).

If I could draw it up myself, the rear bar would go down at the tailgate, kind of fastback style:

Current state of things:

mine came from BroncoBob. It is obviously a full cage. I am 6-2 and have never hit my head on it. I wanted a few things done a little different than how they normally build them. They were really easy to work with and happy to oblige. I would at least talk to them about what you want and see what they can do.

Call Gordon at Bailie Bilt. He has a Sport Cage that has th rear legs you are describing, but also has the leaning B pillar hoops. He was great to work with on my cage.

Nice, have him put it behind the dash like my buddies. No large A pillar gap and S bend in the way of the glove box and window crank.

Extreme Custom Parts makes Roll bar kits. Here is a link to one they make for a Half Cab and they call it an external cage. It might set back far enough so your head wouldn't hit it but still work with a Bikini Top?

I bought a roll bar from Sterling Equipment in Florida and they were happy to modify the height for me. Guessing they might be willing to make some other adjustments.

Tom's Bronco Parts has a half-cab roll bar that leans back to clear the bulkhead that might give you the clearance you are looking for also. Part number 1385.

That looks really clean. I need to check out your setup some day; you've got a lot going on.

That orange bronco is actually my buddies, but my cage is close to the windshield as well. I don't have a stock dash though.

I love the way that is done!!! Is there a crossover bar behind the dash?

The picture I posted is my buddys, he did it himself. He has a bender. It could easily be duplicated to work with a EB 4 point cage.
