What\'s with TJ rollbars?
My brother got a new TJ and I was looking it over and two things stuck out for me. First, its MORE compact inside than my 23 year old CJ5! I actually felt like I was going to get stuck inside that thing.
The other thing I noticed (and scared me) was that the rollbar isn't a solid piece of tubing. Its made of two uprights (drivers side and passenger side) that are connected by a spanner bar which is held in place by bolts! Bolts are the only thing keeping it together (at least so far as I could see)!
Has anybody else noticed this? Just how safe would this be? I know my CJ rollbar works, but I just can't trust that TJ one...it seems to exude all those things I have been told NEVER to do to a rollbar!
