You know I'm not sure if the rest of NICO knows how easy it is to affix a coupe designed C pillar bar into a hatch. All you need is a bracket from a 91-94 chuki hatch. It's a little metal bracket that holds the seat belt to the c pillar at a different angle, just only use one of those and the coupe bar fits perfectly. I'm not sure if this info is on NICO in one place so I thought adding it to this thread was a good idea. The only place I heard about it was from mrgreeneyes and I'm not sure if he got that info online, but until now I've always thought of it as a closely guarded secret of the lancaster 240's jk, but that would be a cool thought.

got bored... found this pic in my hard drive.

IMO, its just for looks... and honestly... it really gets in the way when you're tryin to stash things in the trunk.



want to stiffen the rear? get a tri bar, or better yet, 4 pt. rear st. tower bar.



fyi... you need to drill holes for the tri-bar
