Just because somebody sells a bolt in bar or cage doesnt mean it is a well thought out item.

holy ****! yeah the wolf bars have very large plates welded to the bars. i bought the bolt in design so they have matching plates that go on the under body. i am definitely having it welded after its fully installed. they also attach to the body in the rear, not the seat belt spot. that is an excellent point you bring up, the area he plans to mount the rear bar is in no way designed for a roll bar to mount to.
edit: no way tryin to rip you up barney, its really cool that you and your dad are making a bar. just don't want you getting really hurt out there.
