A lot of folks actually!
There're area couple of variations on Saddle Up over on Ford-Trucks these days.

How about Giddy or Gitty Up?
Or even Git'er Up!;)%);D

Maybe it's time to take the name Saddle Up back for the good guys. If it hadn't been for the previous abuse it would be a very good name for the new product. How about your logo below, but with the word Up raised up? And perhaps an old west looking font?

A couple of questions to OP (and maybe I missed this) - Are you going to try to sell these? If so, just to Broncos or to other vehicles as well?

Reminds me of AZ DMV denying my license plate which said Bukin. Even though the one spelled Buckin was in use on another vehicle. Said it was too sexual.

This is awesome! It warms my heart to think someone who previously couldn't experience the joy of Bronco life will be able to now.

Have you tested it with simulated weight or on a non-level floor? My engineer brain is geeking out right now!

I also like Paul's suggestion of Gitty-Up

The Bulldogger, steer wrestling term where a cowboy slides off the side of his horse and on to a steer to wrestle him to the ground.

There is a brand of those, Bruno. They make a Vss 2602 seat that does that. If you ever need help with ideas or suggestions I work for Mobility works. Nice job by the way!!

Yeah i looked into one of those but the problem with them is they sit too high. I'd have to cut and lower the floor boards. This design helps keep the option open to retain the original auxiliary gas tank.

FYI "Saddleup" conjures up some bad memories for some folks here.

This must be before I joined the forum, you can PM me the back story if you want? Im assuming it involves socks and sandals?

I don't know about mass production on these, i have so much going on right now in my life it would be tough to find time to build them. i'm always up for helping people out if it means they can continue to enjoy something they might not otherwise be able to, trust me i know the feeling...with that said im up for sharing plans or helping someone design and build something that suits their needs

yeah we mocked up a roll bar to a support beam in the garage and tested out the integrity of the welds and engineering with actual weight on it. Last step will be to tie the roll bar into the frame.

Not socks and sandals. Saddleup was a member here who overextended himself making and promising tops. He ended up cheating several folks on here - and several over on an International Scout forum - out of a significant amount of money. Search for "saddleup" for the rest of the story.

Just curious if you were thinking of expanding your market to non-Broncos. In which case a less "bronco" themed name would be best.

ahh ok....Yeah just sticking to broncos for now. It really depends on where your roll bar is mounted. I could probably make a kit but you would need to cut and trim things to get them to fit right, there would def need to be some "fab skills" needed to assemble it.
