Yeah I made the roll gage .
The first one I made was of aluminum tube but I found it to be way to wimpy. I folded it up pertty good on a little roll over.
Sooooo I made this one of brass tube, it semms to be alot tougher.
I flatend out the ends of the tube about 1/2 inch on the ends and then drilled holes in those ends to mount to the bottom of
the front body mounts and to the rear shock tower where the shock mounts.
cross braces are 1/2 in. brass strap.

That thing looks awesome. U know wut u should do though, make the plastic part on top of the aluminum chassie look nicer. The black is kinda dulling i up. lol, still looks good like that though.

one flaw......

Your rear wheels dip in like a mother! (in 1st pic with no body or rollcage!) or is it just me?
