thanks for the link! ill thumb through it tonight and see what I can dig up

Ive decided on down bar placement, which will be half through the sheet metal above the window, and half into the window opening itself, allowing my to notch a piece of lexan and slide it up into place.

The main hoop and outriggers are throwing me off.
since there is that hump near the back of the cab on the floor, how exactly would I be able to "add" in the length of tubing to attach to the outrigger?

could we simply measure my angles, bend the main hoop, but keep the "legs" extended.

then hole saw a spot, slide the main hoop in and down, weld the down bars all around, then shove the main hoop back up to figure out where to cut/weld the outriggers to the frame?
