roll bar has no halo or down bars in the front, just a loop in the back, door bars, and down bars

and yes stew you can make your frame connections in the cab it just ***** your backseat

roll bar is considered a 5 or 6 point. on a 5 point the side bar has to be on the drivers side. these 2 will take you from 11.50 to 10.00 or 135 if the firewall hasn't been altered.

a roll cage is 8 point and up. you need this if your 9.99 or 135 and faster.

Well, I just called up Madman to get a quote on a 6pt. Im unsure if i should have it installed or just compete in a different index.

I have some time to make up my mind so we shall see....

It wasnt cheap!

Total installed with lexan was over 1500.00

But it will look different, I want a custom look that is less noticeable when exiting the rear.

That price was chromoly, im sure the price would differ if one opted for mild steel.

Doug, I need to talk to you about that l92/l76 setup sometime. It appears that is the route I'm going to take soon and need to know a few things about it.

Call me when you get a chance, I have a few custom grinds you might be intrested in that I have not tried yet. Ive been fine with the cam I have for now. I will be changing to something different by October, with something that goes good with laughing gas?
