That first photo reminded me of the "Boaterhome" from the 1970s...

I suppose your passengers have more need to be protected during a "roll over" than the poor driver who is just a "hired hand". Fibreglass isn't that easy to make strong enough to keep it's shape so understandable having a roll cage at the back, but why not at the front as well?

I would expect desert falconry to be one of the intended uses for this truck by a decent part of its customer base, and when you want to fly gyrfalcons (who live near the arctic circle in the wild) in the scorching heat of desert, you need extra air-conditionned space to ferry the birds, so I am not too surprised that some want to extend the passenger compartment, and the result should not be too bad.
What really hurts the eyes is the raised roof and matching rollcage. :evil:
