Do I need a roof
1 - 20 of 26 Posts
I'm currently only running the sport visor. Helps deflect low hanging branches out of the cab. The overhead storage is very handy also. I'm considering buying the mid-section to complete the roof for the extra peace of mind. Getting caught in a downpour on the trails isn't fun.

For me a roof is mandatory. A roll over on the top side will make that pretty clear the first time it happens to you. Been there done that. I use Aluminum on all of my offroad toys. Not having a roof might be ok if all your doing is Sand however where I ride there are rocks large enough to do major damage to your body if you roll over on them. A deadfall tree will do the same. Just MHO.

I rode for about 3 months before getting a roof. Originally I was going to get a fabric roof but ended up deciding to get an aluminum one mainly for a couple reasons, fabric roof will tear when hit by low lying branches & typically flap & make noise at high speed. The aluminum roof will add a little more strength to the cage & help eliminate objects coming through during a roll over. Having a roof, I can tell you it is a little more enjoyable to drive with it keeping the rain & sun off of you.

How thick should it be...just in case?
i love my Pro Armor soft top for 80.00 has a zipper compartment i put my maps in there. It keeps rain of you but my maps got wet. It does not make noise at any speed no flapping. removes in seconds so you can rinse it off

I am not bashing anyone's product, however, MAYBE something to think about depending on where you ride.
I went with a metal roof for the simple reason that I ride in all sorts of areas. With that said, some of the areas that I ride in (forest) potentially have limbs and whatnot sticking out of the ground.
Something to think about is if you roll, a limb could potentially pierce a canvas top and do harm to the occupants where a metal roof may provide a little more protection.
Just something to think about
Have you checked out Home
I have heard good things about their tops.

The Bad Dawg roof is a good way to go too. As always if you call Jordan direct he can give you a crazy great deal.
