I think I mentioned it before but I’m pretty sure my mom did drugs when she was pregnant with me. Two disks in my lower back didn’t ever fully develop along with the sacroiliac joints so I have to be really careful. I can still use my back 100% but if I twist or jump off of something and land even the slightest bit wrong it will put me out of commission. I need to have it operated on but they said to hold off as long as I can. So I feel your pain man!!! Hope it gets better soon!
 
Done that putting a stupid 231 in my sisters heep about 20 years ago. I still sit sideways on the can to poop

Good luck

I should be fine in a few days, it feels like it’s just a tweak. I can walk around albeit a bit hunched over.
 
So I missed most of the conversation.

A single diagonal from corner to corner would work. Then similar sized tube gussets. You can bend those x bars. The less the better but a bent bar is better than no bar ( most of the time).

Smaller tube is another idea.

What you do here will very much help decide how you do your roof bars.

With dropping the seats you may have room in the roof to do some stuff like this

Just an example of a short junction tube preventing a dead node. If your dropped seat gets you far enough away any x bracing whether to the very corners of the b pillar or slightly inside with the roof structure preventing dead nodes from said x brace, is good.

Time to get creative.
 
I have enough headroom to do whatever I want in the roof. I just can’t X brace that b pillar without comprising seat room. Like you said, I have to get creative.
