Yukon Jack, can I ask a follow-up question, even if its dumb?

I thought that sandwich plating the roll bar to the frame would be a weld to the frame from the bottom plate, not a welded frame connection that has a rotatable bushing into which the bottom plate tubing is bolted through. It's hard to describe it, but the pics show it real well.

A sandwich of plates with a solid connection to the fram is what I've seen in another article. But I wondered about the need for rubber or urathane body mounts if the cage is done this way. Might as well put steel body mounts in for all the good they'd do if the cage is stiff welded. Am I right about this?

The articles you listed show rotating connections and that would let the body cushion on its mounts. Is there a give-away in rollbar integrity with them?
