I like the looks of it! Simple and straight forward. Build looks very interesting too. I'd like to see it when you get a chance to post it. If you've got pics already and don't mind sharing, feel free to post or PM them. :smokin:
Thanks! I'll get a thread up soon, but if you don't want to wait there are plenty of pics on Brave's Facebook page (in my sig) and on my Instagram @davegutwillig

Dave, always liked your work. This one is looking good, love the 2" tube on TJs!

Way you do your B triangulation is what I have planned for mine ...if I can get back to working on it. Are you going to include tubes from upper center B back to Cs or a tapered rear halo tied to back (like bbaXJ) and is it necessary? I'd like to keep it open if its safe to. But. I see besides bracing the B and closing the nodes, I can imagine protruding rocks etc. getting close to back of seats & head in a roll.
No halo planned, we wanted to keep the fastback look. I will probably do some tubes from the center top of the B-hoop to the outsides of the C-pillars. The cage will be very similar to texasag02's once it's all done.

Figured I'd throw a few pics up of one I'm currently working on. It's about half done, it will get full race door bars and a spare tire mount, as well as run out to the front bumper. Customer wanted to make it 4500 class legal, so most of the tube is 2". I think I'll start a build thread on it pretty soon.
