Hey all,
I've got an idea for my TJ. I'm going to mount a windjammer this spring (not quite here). I don't like the idea of the seats pushing into the material and limiting (?) seat travel. I also don't like the idea of my soundbar being outside of the windjammer/bikini top cab. So, here's the idea: I'm going to make an identical bar to match the center bar of the rollbar. With spacing and new pads, it should look like a doubled-up rollbar (it will be mounted next to the original towards the rear). This will give the seats @ 3" more travel to the rear without rubbing the windjammer (as how the windjammer will be attached to the new secondary bar). The soundbar will be moved to the secondary bar mounted vertically instead of horizontally (the speaker will be pointing to the back of my head). Now I have extra room AND my speakers. Now comes the dilemma.... The rollbar is made of 2 1/4" OD tubing. Where in the @%#$#&$@ do you get 2 1/4" OD tubing? The closest thing I've found so far is exhaust tubing (in stainless..which may not be such a bad idea, just too thin walled for my liking). I don't know why but it seems that steel tubing goes from 2" to 2 1/8", to 2 1/2". I need 2 1/4" so the padding fits (and looks right). Any suggestions?? I've already checked McMaster and Carr.
