 Cage tie-ins I'm planning to tie my cage in to the body at the cowl (windshield bolts), top of the windshield, door posts, and at the back. Goal is to increase cage integrity a little and to decrease body shake a lot. Any reason this is a bad idea? I'm assuming the body doesn't need to move a little, but figured I'd double check.

Re: Cage tie-ins Been working fine for me. Stiffened up the body quite a bit.

Re: Cage tie-ins Mine mounts through the body to the frame at 6 points front of floor, B pillar a d rear corners...plates under the body with tube to frame....Bolts through cage-plates, floor and secured via under plates. Overkill, but zero flex in the body.
Hope to catch up with you soon Justin!
Cheers!
