Default Bare Roll Bars

Howdy, I'm wanting to make a thread for all the guys running bare roll bars with no padding. Post your pics of no pads roll bars.

I'm taking my padding off today and going to start wrapping it in Paracord. I bought 1000' of OD Green cord just for this purpose on my Rescue Green JKU.

I'll take pics when I'm done.

I thought about It but the roll bar is not painted all the way , so the plan was to paint it black but then when I started to pull away the padding it just didn't look right , you are so used to seeing them thicker and then seeing them bare they look dinky but the para cord should help with That so good luck and have fun

Sounds very interesting. Wonder if 1000' will be enough though. Only reason I say that is I used 100' just to make a 6 foot dog leash. wish you the best. I recommend some gloves so your hands dont get to tore up.

Removed my rollbard padding after tearing a huge chunk out of it on a tree and painted the primered bars and crossmember to match the rest.

I think I'd mount my hi lift on the back top somehow if I did this.

I think that's a grand idea. I took my hi-lift off my home made spare spot, so I've been running jackless for awhile.

Shouldn't take more than a couple thick washers, bolts, nuts, and rubber washers on both sides.
