This was all made from scratch?
The backseat obviously doesnt fold down anymore without removing the bars going thru it, but it has 2 bolts at the swivel point, and thats it.

Certainly it's better than nothing but doesn't it take away from much of the structural integrity of the roll cage to have the slide-joints in place? Unless you weren't going for integrity I guess.My Members' Ride Thread - It's a marathon build, not a sprint. But keep me honest on the update frequency!

Well theres really no point in having a full roll cage unless your doing something that requires one, in that case there are rules for them, how theyre made, what theyre made out of etc. In my case its mostly form over function, however I did want it to be somewhat functional in stiffening chassis flex, and worse case scenario a crash. At the slip joint, its basically a 6in peice of pipe inside of two connecting roll bar peices, welded in place on the inside of one side. They are actually very stout. The pins are grade 8 fasteners, same as the seatbelt bolts.
I made it this way so I could tac it in the car, take it out, finish welding, paint, and re-install. It made it easier not having to cover the interior or take it out to weld or paint.
