Took a lil Redneckery to get the front PS to mount up to the windshield frame. With all the other bolts loose, would not line up. Nothing a high lift and 2x6 could not fix.

Cage must have been made on a Friday. DS pre-drilled holes to attached the cage to the windshield frame do not line up. One hole lines perfect, the other, not even close. No way to fix it short of cutting it off and welding it back correctly . . screw that, was a bear to just get this far.

Finishing it up, seats back in and top.
