Alright. I've currently got a full cage in my Samurai and have been adding some additional tubing to make it stronger in the event that I roll.

I'm going to be adding two tubes down the center from the front hoop to the main hoop for more bracing and somewhere to hang my CB from.

I'm also planning on putting in a diagonal brace on the center hoop from the driver's head to the passenger's floor. The problem is that the center hoop is just close enough to the driver's seat that I can't run a straight tube from the top. If I do, it will be very easy to wind up hitting my head on it.

Here's the question...

What way would be better to go with? Putting a slight bend in the tube to go just far enough behind my head and still running it to the top of the hoop? Or running a straight tube that goes doesn't go all the way up (just below the driver's head)?

Here's a pic that might give a little bit of an idea of what I've got.
