Still haven’t figured out what a Gen Z sunroof is compared to usual kind.

Would it be allowed (depending on the state) to install the seats without the roll cage?

I’m not certain, but I’d think with no back wall of the cab and no cage, there would be some flex in the body that wouldn’t be good. I could me wrong, it’s just a guess.

I’m pretty sure the Open Air can’t get the sought after five star crash rating without the roll bar as the rear seat airbags are part of the roll bar. Also the third brake light is mounted to the rear cross bar.

SKYROOF® Gen.Z is the model designation for our current aftermarket manual pop-up sunroof.

In the 70's, I had a bean bag chair in my dorm room. I'm thinking that would be a good upgrade in the back of my Slate, compared to my scrawny butt sitting in the back of Dad's pickup in the 60's. (Chevy wood floor with metal strap hold downs.). Generally these were short trips, 3 miles to the Famous gas station for the 28 cent gas, or five miles to grandparent's farm.

I think there are 32 states that allow adults to ride in a truck bed. I have the impression that you can gimmick up any sort of seat you want. If the truck needs something structural like the roll cage, seems like a $200 piece of metal could come from 3rd parties - could also be used for canoe/kayak rack etc.
