Re: Rollcage Construction

I did not install rubber bushings. Haven't needed them. Good solid construction should not need them (IMHO).

If the front window was down? I don't know. A bypass to an obstacle was blocked by a downed tree. The Jeep was left at the top of a hill above the bypass without the emergency brake being set. It rolled down the hill (gaining speed as it went). The tree had a branch that went into the windshield and stopped the jeep (suddenly) at about 5 points.

I would say it was a 50/50 shot that worse could have happened!

The good news? The tree was no longer blocking the bypass!

The booboo is almost all alright now, though...
