84 runner roll bar

[reidy404]

gday, i have removed the rear roll bar from my 84 model 4runner as i have removed the rear seats for hunting purposes.

does this affect the safety in any way? i mean does the roll bar add to the strength or structure of the vehical in any way?

cheers alex

The roll bar is basically there to protect the heads of people in the back seat in a rollover... It will also help support the cab in the same situation, as without it, if you land upsidedown, all the weight of the truck is on the cab.

thanks mate, i will be putting a solid steel dog cage in the back anyway and that will give support if i roll it. cheers alex
