Roll Cage Measurements

[SC74]

This questions stems from me being too tall for my Bronco. When we built my cage for the crawler we used measurements from 2 cages on our complete broncos. The cage in Jessica's blue bronco was built by Van Tumblin in Laurens way back when and Keith's cage is a Smittybuilt with the front legs.

Since neither one of these broncos had a hard top on it, we based the crawler cage off of these measurements, which were both very close to each other at aprox 43.5" from floop pan to bottom of roll bar. The Smittybuilt only has the 2 legs to the front and one cross-bar behind the windshield wiper motor. Mine has one more bar centered b/w the driver and passenger running front to back.

Now that we're building mine and adding more support tubing, my head is hitting the other cross/support tubes. I had planned on doing one tube centered from front to back (which is already burned in) and then adding an "X" over the cockpit area also. Without hacking my floor out, I can't have any other support tubes unless I want a concussion every time I hit the trail.

What does your cage measure from the floor pan to the bottom of tube on the driver side (at the bottom of the floor drop)? cratchhe:

After looking at pictures of BigJake's red bronco, it looks like his goes up several more inches. Jarrett - can you fit a hard or soft top on yours like that? I'm still wanting to run a soft top on it and that's why I didn't raise the cage to start with, but now I'm questioning myself.

Sorry it's so long :popc1:
