A friend of mine has a beat up bronco that has chunky oil and is all rust, he wants to cut most of the roof off cut out all 4 doors and remove the carpet. Is there somewhere I can find out what is legal and what isn't? any help is appreciated

his plan is to weld in a steel roll cage and weld it right to the chassis and then make a bed frame.

since when do Broncos have 4 doors?? a few tips to keep it legal when you run doorless... he NEEDS a driver's outside mirror AND either the one on the windshield or passenger door.. there is also some rule requiring the door sill to be a cetain height ABOVE the flat floorpan.. most Jeeps have the raised sill that you step up over.. i am pretty sur eif you run doorless there needs to be some kind of "sill" to keep stuff from rolling out the door....

without a roof? like the rear section thats removable? or the body section over the driver? he should do some research on the registry website to see if a saftey cage is required if a permanent roof section is removed.. they may have specific requirements for a cage in these cases..
