If you were closer, I would trade my sport bar for your family bar assuming that is what you have.

Looking at your jeep in your profile I see you have the family style bars, I have the sport bars. Hmmm. I've been thinking on changing, where you located in upstate, I'm in Ithaca, NY

roll bar swap

i changed mine from family style to older yj/cj style. i had to cut some of the bolts off and some of the holes didn't line up perfectly, but i got it done. you will also need to change pads and seatbelts

city folk think whiteplains is upstate. from my experience at work.... 9 out 10 NYC'ers don't even know they live in the smallest county in the USA and 97+% of NY is not city
