Nope. Thats why they called it a topless instead of a convertable.
Originally modified for participation in the Macy's Day Parade, i think. One of those big parades...

No roll bar, so it's not very safe. Clean yes, safe... :wallbash:

I've seen some on Jeep forum, you just have to basically build a cage else they say since there is no frame it will fold like a taco.

I like JD's thinking... it would be unique to say the least... you would have to convert the tail gate to fold down like a pickup.... Hmmmm
