I can't imagine that our friends in Law Enforcement have nothing 
better to do than chase an old TR through the streets of Jawja with 
tape measure in hand...  As long as you don't do anything to warrant 
their attention, you shouldn't have any problem.  I don't believe 
you'll have any problem.

Further, take a look at http://www.lexis-nexis.com/hottopics/gacode/ 
-- this is Lexis-Nexis' copy of the Official Code of Georgia.  Title 
40, chapter 8, Part 2 is where you need to look.  Among other things, 
see Section 40-8-23 (c): Every taillight upon every vehicle shall be 
located at a height of not more than 60 inches nor less than 20 
inches, to be measured as set forth in subsection (b) of Code Section 40-8-21.

I couldn't find roll bars mentioned anywhere...

Less persnickety, maybe...
