Re: What happens on a Roll over
My roll cage is essentialy the same as this one. I would like to draw you
attention to the hand holds in the upper corners. I think these hand holds
are potentially dangerous where they are because the hands are exposed to
passing rocks and otheer stuff that will be on the ground if the roof is
ever on the ground too. I would like to see those hand holds come from the
forward bar to the member that connects the forward and the rear bars. The
hand hold that is there is OK for comfort and ease of grabbing for any kind
of normal ride, but if the ride gets wild, the passenger should have another
alternative to hang on to.

Re: What happens on a Roll over
You know he wasn't refering to people who dribble the Jeep down the
side of the rock, don't you? <g>.
How is the rebuild holding out, BTW? Are you in that nasty slick
stuuf they were showing on TV?
