Hello,

Yes it is tied in under the floor.
In the front and middle, rear lands right on the shacle pocket.

The front bar is tight to the bottom of the steering, and well above the knee impact bolster provided by Jeep.
I have yet to knock my knees and I am 6' tall.
I kicked in the B pillar bars, so it lands on the unibody channel outer flange. As you can see in the picture of the tie in below.




I have another bunch of tube to triangulate and box in, still a work in progress, also should add a bunch of gussets.

Thanks
Nitro

PS: No prob, I have thick skin and have posted on Pirate, don't post if you can't handle it.

Here is the front tie in.



No Prob, No Hate percieved.

Like I said work in progress, just started getting heavy, with all the extra bars, need to go wheel so I put it back together with the basic cage.
Will get back to it.

I have bars going down the center. thebn off on 45* from them in the passenger ares.. I was worried about stuff comint threw. My cage is by no means perfect, but I am confident that it would take a serious/catastrophic roll and I would be able to walk away

I know a guy in the Dalton/Chatsworth area that does excellent tube work if you want it done and don't have the tools.
