Hey I'm gonna build a hybrid roll cuz I'm 6'4 and an interior one would make me Boyce my head off of it lol... So this is my plan I think ... Any things I should do to make it strong..?

If you had a rear cut and fold bumper, you could run a d pillar on the outside as well. My plan is the same, with a d pillar out back as well.

Ahhhhhhh!!! I was planning on building a roof rack but after seeing these pics I'm now thinking about building this instead. Very cool IMO!! Could easily run rear supports off the back bumper but need to figure out how to tie it in to the a-pillar without it looking like crap. Cool thread Sheetz!

Do you have any idea how to bend and weld? Do you have a bender and a welder? HF stuff isn't in a cut it.

I'd put a big X at the B-pillar and C-pillar...

This is by far my favorite cage design on a full bodied XJ.
