Simple roll bar
No factory roll bar in yours?
Make sure the torsion boxes are in good shape before you remove the top. That's all that keeps the body shape on those first gen blazers
No I don’t and not to sound like a rookie but how would I check the torsion boxes? Its had a full frame off resto - Thanks for info
With the resto, you’re probably fine
But let’s learn torsion boxes
They are missing in these pictures

Last picture in this link shows them without the rockers in the way, and discusses the need for the rigidity in terms of keeping the body tub square

I got mine from S&W race cars. they will sell you an extra hoop, and bars if you want to go Family style.
