roll cage additions

[superj]

Cut a yj sport cage down and used the pieces to add a rear cage to the 76 CJ5 . I will add a front cage and support bars sometime and then do the frame tie ins so if this jeep rolls, my oldest son will be OK.

I think it came out great looking, so far. First shot at doing this on my own and I just had a sawzall, grinder, and 110 mig to tack it until my buddy brings the big welder over

Another view.

I wanted the bar to tilt forward a little so it would fit inside a hard or soft top.

Interesting idea.

Did you tie it into the frame?

not yet. its on the list after the front hoop is tied into the main bar. i just want to make sure if my kids tip this old guy on his side, they won;t get crunched up. i am also going to add synergy grab bars, like i have in my yj, because they are super solid and won;t swing out like paracord or other rope/cloth type of grab handles.

Looks pretty nice, I like the idea.

Am I seeing the brace tubing deformed where it meets the front bar?
