I just have a question about our cage tie in. On my cage we only tied in at a few points, are those plates (gussets?, cant remember if that what they are called) welded all the way down the A-pillar, any reason you didnt tie in the front towers into the rest of the cage. And roughly how much weight was removed by going hole saw crazy.

What are you doing for steering angle? Those front wheels look like they may have a little too much offset to get the angle you may want before they rub.
