Full Roll Cage Front Hoop

Post by LB181 »

I was wondering if any of you have a full roll cage in your Thing. A few years ago I had Jim Larsen the race car fabricator weld me in a 4 point rollcage. I am thinking of puting in a front hoop that would go to the windshield and down to the floor. Does anyone have any pictures of a full cage. I am trying to find some ideas from you guys as to what you have done with the windshield latch. I have looked through the mags and I have seen a few ideas but not any good pics. One idea I have seen is just to make a bunch of bends so it goes around the latch. Another idea I saw was the guy had some type of bracket that went from the rollcage and attatched to the windshield halfway down. Any ideas would be helpful.

I posted a pic of a 6 point cage in a thing that I just picked up on thesamba.com in the gallery. The picture doesn't show that there is a bar that runs horizontally just below the front doors.
