And yes, if you need to put a rollbar in the daily, then you definitely need a beater! LOL
I never would have dreamed I would need a cage in this car for pump gas runs. I researched a 6-pt and 8pt last night and it looks like an 8-point doesn't require much more modification, as it's more bracing behind the front seats. It's the 10-pt cage that requires significant front dash modification.
