I plan on building a 2" x 4" to just do that, that is when I get to that point of my build. However I'm a little reluctant to mount it to the frame.
The M's frame is designed to flex, and the cab is floating on the frame. Mounting a roll bar rigidly in the cab and to the frame would reduce the trucks flex and likely start adding stress to some undesirable points.
I hope that when I get to it I find a good solution, but right now I plan on building the roll bar in the cab so I'm protected. But to ensure the cab doesn't come off the frame perhaps a loop like a drive shaft loop loosely around the frame so it can flex but still keep the cab on the frame.
