    I finished adding the kicker bars. While doing this I found I would hit my head on the bars. It seems I needed to add an extra bend in the bar. So I had a muffler shop put a bend in it for me. The bend that was added is the one by the rear hoop. I tested it yesterday on a run at Elbe Hills ORV Park and I didn't hit my head once.

    Have you thought about adding some sort of bar from the backside of the dash to the floor or something to strenghthen that part of the dash. I would just be afraid of the dash plastes tearing away if you ever actually put that bar to use.

    In the first picture you can see my back up angle plates. I not only bolted them through the dash I also bolted it through the side. This makes it 5 bolts going through the thickest part of the dash, witch is 1/4" thick. Should be strong enough.
