Then the day came and it was 35mph off a 30' drop then end over end. $21,000 in damage to a 1971 bronco and me and my bro-inlaw just had sore necks from the ordeal!! Go strong and go perminent. With a vert you can get a bad ass cage and have it powered coated so you could eat off it!! Bolt ins are like strap ons their for woman!!
