Steve used DOM .120 wall 1 3/4", 1" for grab handles and I wanted 1" across the dash pad. Yes it is has floor plates and plates underneath as well. My floor is solid. When looking into cages I was concerned about not going to frame until I saw the jeep roll overs and others with just a hoop that did their job. Steve told me about a guy that rolled one of his cages off a large drop and walked away from it.
I like the "sporty" rake on the back vs squared off. I cant wait to get it in and get some pics that aren't on my driveway, lol.

My guess on weight, honestly don't know maybe 200-250 lbs. My Brother and I can move it pretty easy... into the truck a third person will make things smoother. If it is not lighter than the hard top, I would be surprised.
