Is the YJ roll bar welded to the tub? And do they both have the same
mounting points? I'm wanting to put a CJ roll bar onto a YJ tub (this CJ I'm
looking to buy has a YJ tub roll bar...can't stand the roll bar).

sorry i cant answer your question with authority (i have no experience with
a yj and as soon as i tell you something itll be wrong) but strictly as an
fyi, the yj/tj style sport bar is "safer" for rear passengers in making it
possible for them to have shoulder belts. if rear passengers arent a
factor, i also prefer the looks of the cj sport bar but its purely asthetic.

Apples and oranges. The Civilian Jeeps I'm aware of have a flat top
of the fender well, which supports a roll bar, the YJ doesn't.

I believe the rollbar from a CJ-7 (1979 - 1986) is the same as the one of a
YJ (1987 - 1991) with exception of the additional bar that YJs have from the
rollbar to the windshield.

They aren't 'roll' bars, they are 'sport' bars and are bolted to the tub
only.

'Roll' bars ar tied into the frame.

And yes, a CJ bar will bolt into a YJ.

And definitely not welded to the tub, although many a YJ has their Torx-head
rollbar bolts so impossibly rusted removal can be the equivalent of a weld
;).
