    I am seeking ideas on attaching a removal side bar on my roll cage. I have a full roll cage, down bars by dash and behind front seat. I am looking for ideas on how to attach a side bar on each side of the cage, in the door opening portion of the body. Any ideas on latches, or pictures on how to attach to roll bar. Must be removable or able to swing out like a door. Plan on using 1" or 1 1/4" tube for bar.
    Thanks for any ideas or pictures....

    You can kind of see the side bar on the driver's side of the Racejeep. Used tabs off the rollcage and drilled through the tube to make a stout hinge. Bolt and lock nut on the rear just loose enough to allow the bar to swing out and back. The front I did the same but used a pin with a hitchpin. Worked great and passed tech inspection :). I would think for trail use a lever cam lock would be fine. We had to have a more positive lock using a pin so it couldn't accidently come open.
