If you do, bass wood is denser than balsa wood, and everyone knows pine is for poop!

I am doing a cage in mine also. 1-5/8" OD. All DOM, halo, main hoop and diagionals and A pillars are .188 wall. all the rest is .120.

when comparing diameters one needs to consider "length of unsupported span" so it's up to me to create enough triangles to make it all work well. On a side note, I paid way too much for my material so not taking home any ribbons. lol.
What you mean I can't run one 1.75 tube the entire. Length of my roof and just drop a d pillar and a pillar and call it good in the middle because It is DOM .???
I mean you can...

I have been thinking about that. I should call the local windshield guy and have him take a look.
ROK, I agree mine may be too close. I think yours are a little close on on one plane and further on another but not much different. I don't have the roof rack tacked in yet so I am OK so far.
I also have a huge windshield leak so I need to find a local specialist who can sort me out.
:cheers:
You could always get it replaced before the cage is done and protect the hell out of it while welding and grinding! Then just never break it again.
If you mean the front fender then kind of, with the exception that the fender would be over that tube still and has plate armor with a tube fender. I would tie the current armor/ steel fender into the tube running underneath the fender. Also the top tube behind the fender would come out the front at the top corner of the front header and tie into my bumper.Like this up front?

I'm midway through my hybrid build.
I went with a similar design to yours. Although I'm not doing any cross brace from C-D crossbar.
