Work in progress...
I added 1/2-13 weld nuts to inside the cage plates. In The future this will allow me to use a body mount bushing under it and bolt it in to tie it to the chassis, or bolt it in solid. At first I tacked the weld nuts in 4 places because they just needed not to spin. But then I wanted them sealed like the cage will be so I tacked them all the way in, ugly weld but functional and hidden. I milled a flat recess to make sure the nut was parallel on the overlap.
Then I started adding in cage bars. I used masking tape to mockup the bar angles before I cut/bent them. I thought about putting a bend to angle the rear bar more, but its stronger when straight, and it fits against the softopper better, I forgot to take a picture of that, but it fits against it nice.
I was going to put the front of this diagonal tube higher, right under the top tube, for a little more strength, but it moved it up and in and too close to the rear passengers heads, so I compromised and put it there, still stronger than a horizontal bar.
Here you can see the 1" arch that follows the roof line. You don't really notice it because it matches the ceiling.
I'm still deciding if I will add a middle floor plate to the top of the wheel well under the angle bar. I also am still adding a front harness bar and roof X brace of some sort. I also plan to brace it to the upper factory seat belt bolt.
