cj6 roll bar

question did any 6 come factory with a rollbar that will work in a 66 for a bikini top blazer

 

used to have a 72 k5 had to sell due to divorce recently got a 66 cj6 tux with a hardtop and trying to learn more about them. mostly been a chevy guy it does have av6

 

I have a 66 CJ6 tux park myself, mine is # 235 (last digits of the vin). All of them had V6 dauntless. Mine has a home cut down roll bar that defines ugly. I envision a dual hoop bar in the future. One hoop over the front seats, positioned similar to the CJ5, and one over the rear, similar to the five, only measured from the rear, which would leave the bars 20 Inches apart. The rear may get moved back an extra 4-6 inches to better cover the rear seat passengers (2 kids). This will make the angle brace shorter and or steeper, but I think it will look good.

First things first though. Brakes, steering and springs.

 

Agreeing with Sparky, the K-5 bar's hoop will be way to wide for the CJ-6.

No CJ-6 ever came with a factory roll bar - there was no such thing. Only aftermarket (dealer installed) bars were available. Jeep started offering a roll bar from the factory in '75 ('74?) which was painted body color, but the CJ-6 was surely slated for elimination by then, and never got it.

The 'official' aftermarket bar's hoop (Smittybilt IIRC) went down to the floor behind the seats, and the braces went rearward to the rear wheel well tops.

You could probably start with a regular CJ-5 bar on the wheel wells, but it would be ineffective unless you added a front hoop.

 

Here's a pic of the Smittybilt bar:
