Re: moving soundbar to front of rollbar
Well, I'm only 6' (if I stand up straight!) but I've got the proportions of
a midget....all body.
I've got issues with my rear view mirror being right in the middle of my
vision....might move it to the very top of the windshield yet....

Re: moving soundbar to front of rollbar
If you grab your mirror, you will find the stalk moves on the Jeep ones
allowing it to be moved easily to the top of the glass so it is out of
your way.

Re: moving soundbar to front of rollbar
My son traded in his 93 YJ for a 1999 TJ Sport and it came with the
sound bar located behind the rollbar. We just moved it to the front
with no problems ....... just had to drill 2 new holes.

Re: moving soundbar to front of rollbar
My son traded in his 93 YJ for a 1999 TJ Sport and it came with the
sound bar located behind the rollbar. We just moved it to the front
with no problems ....... just had to drill 2 new holes.

Re: moving soundbar to front of rollbar
I have it pushed up as high as it'll go...but I think I'll have to unmount
it and reglue more to the top.
I'm high enough (not THAT way) that I have to stay back from the traffic
lights in order to see them...funny...but managable!
