I think it looks good how it is now, with no external bars. Build a cage under the top with A and B pillars. (a real A hoop, not the windsheild frame)

i think a combo of number 1 and 5 would be cool. i like the way number 1 is with the dimpled steel and with the spare mounted on that 45 degree angle it would be sweet. but i really like the top armor in pic 5 that goes from the windsheld frame to the roll bar that way you will not crack it nect time it rubs a tree.

I love the look of it now and adding external bars will clutter it up. It will remove the clean lines you have created. A nice internal roll cage would be the right fit for this. Aaron

if you keep it all inside the cab, you won't have to worry about weather sealing the top after cutting holes in it.

I agree with Creepy, Aaron & Dartjeep, for the all the reasons stated. Don't spoil the clean lines. It will definately keep your Jeep unique.

After that, you can chop behind the doors/ahead of wheelwells with diagonal cuts and extend the bed and frame.

well I hurt my back ,so I have not bin working on the jeep much any way I got all the jk arms and brought a sye kit from bill at apj and now waiting for two jk arms and a rear sye drive shaft to come in at peck's so now time for a 100% flat belly on my jeep I can be done ,but just not on my jeep I have the room for the t-case to go up ,100% flat but with my LP dana 30 front end and 3.25 lift, the front drive shaft is binding bad at full droop, so I will have to run a 1 inch t-case drop or so I'm thinkingo and you can easily remove the exhaust and t-case and skid on my hoist o and I not doing any body work to my top I like it just the way it looks now ,so on went the bed-liner
