Roll Bar Wrap

I have a roll bar (Fat Bar) in my Blazer and I'd like to pad it somehow. I bought some self-adhesive neoprene but it is too stiff to lay flat when I try to spiral wrap it.

Any ideas?

The actual SFI approved padding is pretty hard. Some of the JCI/more open cell padding might be better in this case.

Or - just use the plumbing wrap from the hardware store, if you are going for looks and a bit of cushion.

Re: Roll Bar Wrap

Wild Horses is a vendor mostly of Bronco parts, but they sell custom roll bar pads with zip on vinyl covers. Like large BMX bike pads! They are custom ordered to your specs. At lest for 2” tubes. Did these on my kids ‘72 Jimmy cage and the cage in my CJ-5. Highly recommend. My own Jimmy has the pipe insulation and electrical tape covering on it I installed back in 1991!
