I accidentally went 11.26 so now I am building a roll bar. I'm a pretty large fellow, so I pushed the main hoop to approx. 4" behind my helmet with the seat about as far forward as I can comfortably drive the truck. The door bar is tough, where it sits in these pictures it is deforming the map pocket in the door and touching the power seat controls.
Nothing is welded out yet, so now is the time to make changes if needed. Do you think it will pass tech?
The outriggers are 2"x3"x.120 wall rectangular tubing and the rest is 1.75x.120 tubing.
My main concern is the door bar. If I use a more traditional straight design, I can't get in the truck because of my height. I cant use a swing-out because of how far back the main hoop is. (I ordered a competition engineering swingout kit, but the instructions say that in order for the kit to be legal it has to be within 8" of the main hoop AND 8" of the "A" pillar bar, it takes 11.5" to clear the "B" pillar of the door opening.)
