don't add that extra tube man. 1 it looks good as it sits and will work well 2 why all the extra weight up high? and 3 if your gonna add extra just do the X in the rear, leave the front alone it'll work well and be lighter, plus not look like a crappy jungle jim of tube.

I hear you but I need it to be retard strong!! The total weight of the halo with my additions will be less than 125lbs so it will be IMO comparable to a roof rack with a tire, high lift, shovel and any thing else they put in those huge roof racks. The pieces I am going to add weigh 35lbs which I don't feel is excessive. With all of it triangulated like that it will be super strong. I am not building this thing for looks, it will be thrashed and will probably end up on her roof more than once. Roll it back over and keep going is the idea, repeatable results is the goal.
Let me hear your or anybody else's thoughts on my logic.
