Here are a few pics of my honey, you can see the turnbuckles in these pics.
Cheap $5 turnbuckles, 4 3/8 x 1.5" bolts, 4 rubber grommets to keep the vibrations away, drilled and tapped the cage and used the second windshield hole. Depending on how far away from the windshield the cage is will determine how big of turnbuckles to get or to cut them down. Super simple and like $15.

Is that cage going to fit under your top or are you not running one? That thing is tall.
Looks like you could go from under the bar to under the lip of the windshield frame.
Hopefully next year bud, I think it will be a blast.

(I like em both ways!)

The front corner of the bar he welded in tabs only things that will be above the windshield frame will be the nuts at the windshield.

Nice work!

Two questions -
1) What size wheels and tires are those?
2) How did you get your wife to be near a Bronco and smiling at the same time? Mine hates the Bronco! I married her anyways :)

Haha, thanks bud, tires are Cooper Discoverers (Dodge Ram takeoffs) 35x12.50 on 18x9 american racing wheels, 4.5"BS I think. Fit perfect with no spacers at all.
2. Its her Bronco, I did a frame off for her, she said pink, so I painted it pink ;D It was risky but I think it turned out well.
