So the halo is finally on. It's only attached by the four tie ins through the roof for now. Monday I will cut bend and weld in the exterior supports. Oh and the tailgate still opens all the way. And the windshield should be able to be replaced even after the middle bar goes in. That is why the halo sticks so far past the windshield. Yatzee.

looks great! I don't know if you plan on adding some supports inside connecting the main hoops together...but it needs it for the added strength. I understand that you have it on the roof, but it's only welded in four places to the inside of the XJ, which is the weak link. So with those added pieces, you will be all set.

Again, looks great man!

Yea man the entire interior cage will be connected and triangulated. This is a work in progress. Until my fab shop opens I only have fridays and monday afternoon to work on her. Monday the interior cage and some of the exterior supports are going on and finish the cage next friday.
