haha this is going to turn into a full cage or a back half before Im done

hm, that is a lot of tubing back there, did I miss why you aren't concentrating on the cab first, then building off of that? It will be much harder to properly box in the cab once all that is welded into place(unless you plan on cutting off the roof to weld the a-pillars).
good luck, looks like fun.

Doing back first because the floorboards arnt the best in the front and dont want to get into that mess just yet, and cant set the jeep out long enough to do the floor. The back tubes I can do a little at a time until its done, putting bars in so I got a tire carrier, jack mount, and so I can mount 5 points and cruise more or less hatchless without pulling a twisty turny cracky on the unibody

Harbor Freight tube notcher 40 bucks doe's the job till it wears the brass bearing out. I like the new sketch. Lets see the progress.

Well I dont have any progress yet, waiting on cashflow to settle out before I order supplies

[xcm]

any progress?
on the last sketch, your b-pilla has some head knockers, hope your planning on a helmet, OR at bare minimum, you should move it back 6-8 inches behind the sheet metal b pillar .... your a-pillar WILL collapse in a roll, theres no point ruining the dd-ability of the truck to get a little more strength at the B, imho. you could also do another bar from the b pillar bend node, backwards diagonally?

AND, as skullvarian has pointed out, your not gonna be able to drop the cage for welding the top. that combined with the warm cookie floor's, leads me to recommend you start this kind of a project on a proper vehicle, one without a bunch of negatives before you even start....
