hey there, i have an 85 cj7. right now it has the added front hoop and two spreaders in the normal places. it also has just the plates to the floor. i am starting to add to my cage and just got two more spreaders for it. should i mount them the same way as the others and have 4 parallel, or is it stronger to mount them so they are at angles so the two new ones mount at the very center on the main hoop and angle outwards and mount at each spreader where it meets the front hoop so if you look at the cage from the top it looks like and M. thanks for any help, scott

2 tips

1. triangles are your friend
2. squares are collapsable structures

If you do the "M" then make sure the top of the M is the front of your Jeep so you still have room for your head on those rough roads. Almost did it the other way once, put the :beer: down just in time.

thanks for the input. i was searching this before and was reading about making triangles. thats why i came up with the M design. but wasnt sure if that was stronger or having 90 degree angles. since its a triangle too.
