Well, I worked on the rollbar a bit more and added a bolt with a rubber stop to the top of the rollbar. The rubber stop is very close to the tranny top. If the rollbar is pressed to the point of bending, the rubber stop will come up against the tranny. Since I plan to get a CNC tranny case, this should work quite well.

I also used some steel wool and buffed the rollbar a bit like rchippie suggested and it doesn't look too bad at all. I riveted the rollbar to the back of the battery trays and the whole thing is very solid. Although it's hard to say until I take it for a test run.

Anyone want to donate a radio/receiver, Feigao 8xl, BK Warrior 9920, CNC tranny case, tranny gears, and center shafts? :)

Unfortunately, I can't do much else until tax time when I get some cash. :(

Thanks everyone for their suggestions, ideas, answers, and comments!
