I tend to make things much harder than they need to be generally. Today was your lucky day. I learn the hard way. It makes the end result more enjoyable.
That said, I picked up a sweet craftsman digital level with all kinds of whizgidgits and gizmos on it at sears and it quickly has become quite the useful tool.
Also support the longest side of your tube if you can so the weight doesn't try to spin the tube in the die.

The only thing you can do to get it right is to use a level and make sure it's 100% level. I have spent an hour bending a tube with 6 bends on it. Take your time and it will work. If it's off a hair, you will see it.
Hope this helps.

This roll bar was challenging, but I got it perfect flat. sorry ,it's not a jeep.

I definitely know how that goes. Especially when your "new" at something. I over-think and over-build most of the time.

Thanks Guys. I will get one. Are these pareticular models that you like, or randomly selected?

I have been told that 1 1/2" DOM is sufficient, but I see most guys using 2" for a main hoop, and 1 3/4" for everything else I like the look of 1 1/2", and it would be my choice, if it is enough.

There's nothing wrong with 1.5-1.75" stuff. No need for bigger. Catch the poly kit on sale and add to it. It's a great start. Here's mine out for paint.
Seats are all tied in.

Cool! Thanks for the info. Your cage is about what we have in mind. Appreciate the help.

I've seen those and they look very good. There is also a JF member who is building some similar brackets on his CNC table, at a much better price. I bought a set, and I like them well (not mounted yet). Give a holler to jatepper (Jeremy) if interested.

From my experience, they hold up well. A buddy of mine that had those A pillar brackets rolled his jeep at 45 to 50 mph on the dirt and the cage didn't budge. I have also used the Poison Spyder brackets for TJ cage builds.
Hope this helps.

I'm a beginner but didn't have too much trouble making my own using the factory (YJ) bracket as a template.
