I'm opting for the 6 pt. frame tie in. Most Jeeps at this age have very weakened body metal. Even though I'm welding in new metal on 40% of the body, now is the time to install a full cage w/ tie-ins since I'm doing a frame off. Hopefully I'll never need it but that's not under my control, so I'll feel safer knowing it's there.
This was just some fitting before the teardown. When my bodies done I will finish fitting and weld it together.

My cage is tied to the frame, weather it needed or not :dunno:. but I feel safer that way, and thats all that matters to me.

Some of these pics appear quite vintage and the jeeps almost new. In addition they appear to be from arid states. I wonder how the sames jeeps would have faired if they were a typical vintage rust belt CJ which are all at least 27 years old now?
BTW:Here is the pics of a far superior design of chassis without a roll bar at all. This jeep rolled 2 times sideways down a steep embankment at an off-road park in Kentucky and wound up upside down in a river. Had it not maintained such great structural integrity we would not have had time to cut the driver out of it before he drowned. Keep in mind that this is a supposedly "weak" unit body design and then contrast it to the full body-on-frame FSJ Chero posted above.
