Rolled my Runner
#23
I understand how much work it is, so I'm offering these comments to be helpful, not be an ass ...
Personally, I would have tried to keep it in closer to the body. Like barely enough to get your fingers between the exo and the body.
You have way too many "moment arms" - it is much stronger if you focus on having the tubes come together in the same place (nodes) to make triangles instead of having the pieces parallel and making rectangles/parallelograms.
You NEED a cowl bar going across just below the windshield. Otherwise, there's not a whole lot to prevent the cages to crush together in another roll.
But "good on ya" to get it fixed and back out on the trail!

I did them far away from the body on purpose. In case cage bends in roll, I want the cage to start crumbling instead of the body. Cage is not finished yet, Soon to come is windshield bar, Rear roll and Rear sides.
