forget all this roll-over crap with or without ROPS. But you will love those seatbelts in an otherwise small car accident.

Well, it is a different look. Some people like that also. At this time I am indifferent.

right, I actually like the look.

Funny thing I found that people look very friendly at my M201 Jeep with it's classical shape, but tend to look different at the much more aggressive view of a 151 w/ ROPS

Personally I do like the old school look of the MUTTS without ROPS, but the ROPS is different and I suppose its nice to have the option of both looks. I just hope mine comes out without much fighting.

I thought I posted this before, but could not find it.The process in the pic didn't work.I had to cut the pipe, heat it up, twist it to break the pipe free in the foot.

Here is my 2 cents worth.

I bought an A2. It had ROPS, deep water forging kit, 2 radios and a fan.
I took everything off. The rops were easy for me to remove. Whipped out the old Sawsall and cut that sucker off.
Plug all the holes and away I went.
If you want seatbelts, see TM 9-2320-218-34P
F.S.N. 2540-00-894-1274: Belt, Automotive Lap
F.S.N. 5340-00-168-7112: Safety Belt, Rear Strap

You’ll have seat belts without the cage.
