This will be a trailered off road-only rig? What I meant was rolling over while driving down the road with my kids in the back seat would be my concern. If I did serious four wheeling I would have a full cage even if I only went alone. The first Blazer shown I don't think ever rolled. The damage to the removable top came from side impact with the bridge pillar
