I didn't give it much thought 20 years ago when my wife was
driving our TR-6 daily....  then a friend had a rear hub
break, the wheel/tire got caught under the rear, they lost
control and the car flipped on Hiway 1 near Big Sur...

They were OK.  I don't even recall if they had a rollbar..

Ours has had one since then.  Cheap insurance.  I bought
a 4 point boltin bar, cannot remember where.  The only
drawback is the tonneau needs to be modified to fit.
