Decided to wrap my roll bar with paracord. Used about 85ft of paracord and tucked what’s left on the Chanel below.

-mark where you want to wrap.
-used the bolts that holds the mic top to cover the existing screw holes: same thread (i replaced those bolts with GPCA anchors so i had extra bolts)
-wrap away!

But why? Just 'cuz you could? Wondering if it knocks down towing capacity.
because only thing available out there are vinyl, and will eventually get scratched still and have to be replaced again…figured paracord will at least hold up and if you need rope on the trail…there you go

edit: does not lose towing capacity, but you might lose 5mpg 😂

Such a great idea, love to hear if you have issues opening and closing without stress or damaging the p-cord? Also , if this works with the IAG lift supports?
Oh yeah - whats the name of the tie pattern?
Thanks for sharing!

What about cooling for the air conditioning system? Does it hurt that?

Is there a reason you didnt just wrap over the screw holes?
