I also had the ROP's on my 180. loved it, I'm thinking I can make one just about as good and a little more customized for my needs. Was just curious to see if anyone had made their own and how it turned out.DHS said:

I can't imagine having a PT without a ROPS. What else are you going to hang on to?

A very solid home made ROP'S at half the price, as stated above.SnowRidge said:I can't imagine having a PT without a ROPS. What else are you going to hang on to?

Maybe half of half the price, depends on how custom I want to make it...SnowRidge said:Half the price? That sounds expensive.

Don't make it too long. It seems that turning sharply when you are right next to a building can be a wee bit of a problem.

You mean something like this?Rivco said:Or....You could build one of these then you would be really protected!!!
Even though I think yours was a little better built.The neighbor who I sold my PT to took it off. Said it made him cluster Phobic. Another reason for the home made rops idea, is so I can mate a soft cab this time easy on easy off, to my specs.

I bought one of these and reto-fitted it to my rops the first year I owned the 180. It worked pretty good, but the back was open to the elements, and the clear plastic would fog up!!
