I don't know that the old dog is heavy enough for that type of triangulation to matter.

I'm looking into it, though.

Also, if anyone besides me thought that the roll cages looked a little over-bearing on the jeep, I've figured out why:

The windshield assembly is too short. In the drawing it measures 22 7/8 from the top of the frame to the cowl. My jeep measures 24 3/4" at the same location. Oddly enough, it makes the cage look too tall instead of the windshield looking too short.

I'm going to fix the windshield assembly and repost the pictures.

Just wondering if you ever got around to this?
