Just wondering if anyone has used a jeep rollbar in there bronco?I can pick one up pretty cheep with seatbelts attached for the front and back passengers,I know it will need to be fit to size cutting /welding but for $100.00 I'll get a full rollbar with belts,if I buy any of the aftermarket rollcages with bars going back over the rear passengers I'm looking at around $1000.00,I know everyone frowns on jeeps but hey I'm already using Geo tracker bucket seats.Let me know what do you think?

Take a tape measure and go to town. That will tell you more than anything...

Of course, you also want to check to see if the stock jeep roll bar is actually sturdy enough to do any good before you rely on it.....

A good point. I don't know how the Bronco roll bars hold up, not having rolled one. But I did roll a Jeep, just a simple low speed, one roll rollover and while it kept my head off the ground, it bent and was not reusable.

bump for ya.
someone posted pictures not too too long ago where they installed a jeep rollbar into their bronco (was it from an XJ IIRC?) maybe someone has the pics and will post 'em up for you. but, yes, it can be done.
