Quick & cheap mods for factory roll bars for rollover protection?
I'm down to a week and a half before I leave for Moab. I just talked to my insurance company about offroad coverage and their claims adjuster said major rollovers or damage offroad is not covered. They also do not have any policy add-on's that would cover me.
My upgrade budget for this trip is shot but I'm thinking I need to upgrade the rollcage just in case.
Is there a way to tie in the windshield for better protection without doing a full bolt in or weld in cage upgrade? I could get the shop to weld something but prefer bolt in.

Cheap and rollover protection don't go well together. If you feel you need a "cheap" solution I would get the rockhard cage (not calling the cage cheap but it's very cost effective). Last October we rolled my buddies 2 door out at Area BFE and the rockhard cage saved the jeep. He was able to drive it home back to Canada.
I ran Moab the first time with no cage while everyone else had one. If you're careful you'll be fine, the traction is amazing so I wouldn't be worried about sliding around and rolling. What trails you plan on running will also dictate what you need?
Good luck & have fun.
