personally i love my plastic rollbar...i have the engine protector installed as well, and it is very durable...my buddy has the le with the alloy roll bar and he keeps shearing off his antenna when he rolls it. ive rolled mine numerous times and still havent sheared mine off. once the alloy one takes a good hit it is bent. usually when metal is bent it is weakened. the plastic just gives a little then goes back to origional shape....yes the plastic one may not look pretty after being ground off on asphalt but "I" would spend my money on a plastic roll bar over an alloy one any day.

I totally agree. I have put a pretty good beating on mine already....no issues.

i jumped mine 6-8 feet in the air and landed right upside down one time. got back but, just some scratches.... 15lb truck falling 7ft. = a lot of force.
