I'd say go with the roll bar. You never know when your gunna roll.
My friends dad just rolled his stock 89 Bronco on the freeway and caved the roof to the dash. He was hurt very badly and wished he had a roll bar. He always thought the factory top had an internal roll bar. Nope! Just thicker metal from what I saw in the torn metal. KC's are nice for night driving on back roads only, if you don't do much off roading its not worth it. If you plan on the KC's make sure they are not 55w. Go with at least 100w+

the cage colvers the right side of the glove box so you have to cut the door down and fill in the empty gap in the dash. I've seen in the early Bronco's people cut the hinges so it opens and slides to the lelt out of the way of the cage.

Kyle, I told you what my next mod is going to be: 10-point roll cage. Even though you prolly will not race it at Van Vleck, you never know when someone in Bay City will pull out in front of you ( happens to me daily) or you have an accident. More than a few friends of mine have rolled their stock Broncos on gravel roads or on trails, so that's why I am getting the cage kit. The JBG rollbar is not as complete, but is still a good safety feature for $150. I would suggest that you tie it into the frame like we talked about. JSM84

Maybe $100 more now, but I paid $330 shipped to my door for the S&W cage kit. Have you seen the NAPA commercial with Alan Jackson? He's driving an EB with a chrome factory rollbar (sweet!). You have a PM, too, Randy JSM84
