STRUCTURAL (What is)

[frinesi2]

Its not a problem. Just cut that motherfucker out.

While your at it cut the break lines too.

If that doesn't work get a vasectomy. Please.

I don't want you reproducing.

Follow the steps listed in my post above.

Structural - Is the roll-bar system part of the body structure?
For example: Is is possible to delete the roll bar, and even cut off the B & C Pillars?
We know its body on frame.
* For devil advocates sake, I know there will be some crazy builds in the future.

Sport Tubes / Roll Cage is made of Boron Steel. Pretty sure there are curtain air bags attached to them from the A-Pillar all the way to the B-Pillar and or C-Pillar. They are attached to the rear floor pan.

Already got the vasectomy, if I didn't the global population would have outpaced food production.

None of the roll cage is structural, other than the windshield may actually need the support. Cutting out the factory cage will not impact the rigidity of the body. The way I see it the challenge will be integrating the round aftermarket cage to the windshield, B, and C pillars. Trying to match up DOM tubing and squarish sheet metal is going to take some work.

@Lorenzo since the Bronco roll cage is made of hardened boron steel and is part of the structure, as seen in this B-Pillar photo below, to recreate this topless photoshop model means you will loose the structural rigidity, inherent in the design, other links included from a search on the subject.

That horrendous "sport" bar and b pillar on the 2 door.

Are we going searching for the lost Ark or Dalmatians?
I need to know how to dress.

I'm 100% sure someone will build this - so distinctive.
I would not be surprised if someone also deleted the windshield, or made a folding one.
I was hoping body-on-frame would make it easy for people to do wild things like this.
But, nothing wild, or simple looking - is easy.
* For this I suppose the starting point would be to connect the B-Pillars just behind the front seats, and just below the beltline....

No it's not.

You can't get that color combo.

(Also, you'll probably need seat backs.)

Classic low-back seats and a vinyl wrap

Might be a lot cheaper and more fun for what you’re trying to do.

Looks like any normal uncaged Scout (loved my Traveler back in the day):
