Added some tubes to my sport bar!

WELDZILLA still needs a rheostat, & was burning some small holes in the thinwall.


Rigid pipe vise makes for a great workbench!


Some spreaders to mount my CB radio:




Harbor freight tubing kinker;

Gonna make some tie-in plates to catch the dash mount bolts!


All joints were cut with a sawzall, fishmouthed with a 4-1/2' angle grinder. & welded with E-6011 1/8".

i would like to see some pics of the innside after install was done, how hard was it putting bolts back for the windshield, did you tie into the frame or just use a plate under the floor , how hard is it to use the e-brake now, going to do this to mine in the spring what improvements would you make

The E-brake is a little trickier to use, but i use it all the time. It's not so bad, just turn my foot a little sideways.

Haven't tied into the frame yet, but will be doing so when it gets warm outside again.

Windshield bolts were also tricky, I had to enlarge the holes through the rollbar attaching plates just slightly with a small rat-tail file. I tacked it all together with the windshield in place to be sure it lined up properly. Cardboard taped to (cover) the glass helped keep it from spark pitting.

The window cranks on the hard doors also hit the down tubes. If I can find some old wing window cranks, they should be short enough to work without hitting.

All in all I like the changes & feel like I'm a lot safer in the jeep.

I have plans to add a few plate gussets & some more tubing this spring as well.
