new roll bar design

im in need of a new roll bar that goes underneath the windshield frame but i havent exactly loved any of the ones ive seen thus far. at the body shop i work at, a guy who is often there owns a precision tube bending shop and said he could help me out with making one.. i came up with a few sketches of what im thinking about doing, please let me know what you think.

Re: new roll bar design

I like the 2nd one as it looks to give a little more protection & height clearance to the back seat passengers.
But maybe another tube down or something to give some support for that back bend on top...just a thought. That's a nice lookin Blazer; really like the trim on bottom!

Re: new roll bar design

Keep the rear high over the rear seats. You don't want passengers with concussions after the first bump.

The reason is that the second design will cover the area of jeep perfectly and it will be safe
