Agreed, maybe one step safer than a motorcycle. This thread is timely as I have been working on my roll bar installation. It mounts to 4"x4" X1/4" plates on the main frame members but I decided to improve the install. I have those stub tubes but am going to add another .120 wall tube slid over those, welded to the frame again going up to the bottom ends of the bar to support it, so more than the bolts is supporting the bar under compression.

You guys are doing the right things and know what to look for. Lock em right into the main frame rails. I see plates and bolts up to the job but not the tubing if that's what is used to mount them.

I look at the safety factor as slightly better than riding my motorcycle. I think the key is always keeping that in mind and not allowing the seat belts and roll bar to give a false sense of security.

WRIST RESTRAINTS

I feel better now
